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

I have not problems if you think it's a bug.
Anyway, because every good AI MUST have some supply storages (to keep a reserve of resources), this bug will not hurt them.

Agreed
Unless there is no more room on Colonies for AI to build supply storages

If AI stops builds, then how can it build the supply storages Facility?

Most the modders, included Supply Storage facilities in the Resupply Base, Military, Construction, and even some in the Mineral/Farming/Radioactive Planets. Then, is near to impossible to the AI, doesn't have a few supply storage facilities... And this is what you need to avoid the problem: only a few.

The AI still can build facilities, but not ships (I can't remember about the units).
And this behavior doesn't happen in the early game, then, usually the AI had time to build some resupply storage facilities...

Thanks MB

Now I understand your scenario , Troopers AI probably started next door to the other, causing this thing to happen, to soon in the game.

No problem!
But after realize that in the image posted by Trooper, doesn't exist maintenance cost... I think that's more probably that your explanation, JLS, was more appropriate.

Either way, I just learned something MB !

Thanks

Well, I don't know the reason for this, but it seems it doesn't occur in my current game.

I think it was a critical situation (no ships left, lots of colonies destroyed), and the AI algorithm didn't know how to cope with such a situation.

It was not a question of blank lines anyway.
