What he is refering to is that I changed teh starting resources from 5K as advertised to 100K for the game setup.

You need a space port even for your homeworld to get full value from your resource facilities. For systems outside your homesystem you get nothing without a space port. For your homesystem you get a fraction, 50% I think but I can't remmeber, without a space port. Yes, it's a bit counter intuitive.
