I don't understand economics

[Gorgo]

I have spaceports everywhere, intel is disabled, and I have not retrofitted anything during the Last turns. I have 70.000 organics and 50.000 radioactives.

I'll give you an example:
2405.3
Income total: 26311

Maintenance: 8840
Construction Queue Usage: 9750

Net Ressources: +7721
Current Total: 863


2405.4:
Income total: 27540

Maintenance: 9276
Construction Queue Usage: 10600

Net Ressources: +7664
Current total: 1657

In my opinion, on my Last turn I should have had about 8.000 minerals.

Suicide Junkie, what else are costs that don't appear on the budget screen? Maybe this could help.

Thank you all for your input!

(If anyone is interested in the savegame of theses turns, please mail me: vradke@gmx.net)
