Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?

That's the situation : My AI is at war with another AI. It's attacked in its systems, and for many turns, planets built nothing ! (only a base goes on building ships).
It's even more strange that there are plenty resources left.

What could be the problem ?

How do you check that planets do not build anything ? By looking on construction queu ? It may be misleading - AI may build units for one turn - it leaves queu empty at the begining. Or is it nothing build according to turn log ? If the latest, insert more calls for units in construction.txt file.

AI indeed like to use bases for shipbuilding reserving planets for unit building (ai never build units on orbital shipyards). Make AI build more base shipyards, it may help.
