Retrofit Problems

[Slick]

Most of the time when this subject has come up, it has been a result of not having enough resources. Even though the resource storage shows enough, many times there is not enough because the person is using a Resource Converter that turn (many times unknowingly because its planet is on "repeat orders"). Resource conversion happens before Retrofits, but Retrofits occur before resouce income. So if the rescource conversion lowers any of the 3 resources too low, it can cause retrofits to fail. Then, your resource income is applied so that when you look at your new turn, all you see is failed retrofits and lots of resources in storage again (from income).

I did not do any resource conversion, although I did trade about 15K of my organics and 12K of radioactives for about 8K minerals. I did not get any retrofit messages saying that any of my retrofits failed, only one retrofit message saying that one succeeded (which it did).
If I did not have sufficient resources, should I have gotten a message in the log saying that a retrofit failed due to lack of resources?

By the way, I had 41k minerals, 50k organics, and 42k radioactives in storage prior to the turn being processed. After the turn was processed, I had 58k minerals, 49k organics, and 42k radioactives in storage.

EDIT: Each of the retrofits that did not happen was for destroyer size ships or smaller, and the cost of each retrofit never exceeded 2K resources, most of them cost under 1K each.

Yes, at least under 1.91; I recall some instances of failed retrofitting not giving a message have been fixed by this patch.

As I mentioned in the other thread, the one about repairing problems, I have had problems in a couple of PBW games where spaceyards were repairing 3 instead of 5 components. It could be connected to your problems
