Lack of resources....what?

Submitted by YoshiSato on Tue, 2007-11-20 12:14. Space Empires V General

I'm playing version 1.63 with the BalanceMod 1.11.

All the construction yards in one of my border systems keeps giving "lack of resources" every turn. I have over 300k of minerals in storage, 1000k+ of organic and radio and I'm a net positive on everything. There are space ports in this problem system. Why is this happening? I was building stuff here before.

This system in question is about 10 - 12 jumps from my core system and 2 jumps from my nearest colonized system. The 2 systems between have nothing in them(no planets, justt space)

I should also point out, this problem system is a contested system. I have about 4 colonies heres, the enemy has 2 and about 100 ships based at his main colony in the system. I have about 20 destoyers. Could this be why these planets are not getting resources, how can they blockade my planets when the ships are at his? Or is something else at play here?

Before 1.63, you had to substract trade from your income+storage to see how many ressources you really had available.

Now, are you making mass retrofits? Do your planets have population on them? Are they rioting?

Check the planets. I'd bet they are rioting. They no likey big bad fleet nearby.... A happiness producing facility can help, as can having some troops on the planets.

Or, get rid of that enemy fleet. Make him an ally, or wipe them out...

These planets are not rioting, they are angry but not rioting.

Is it possible to blockade and entire system by haveing a fleet guard a warp point?

As far as wiping out the enemy fleet, not an option right now, but I am working on it. I have 20 destroyers to his fleet of 100 ships, which include battleships, carriers, and cruisers. I've been waiting for the AI to attack one of my planets in the system but he seems afraid of my 300 mines, 50 plasma missle satlites, and 10 heavy missle weapon platforms. It's only a matter of time though.

Is it possible for cloaked ships to be blockading your planets?

A zero population will also result in a lack of resources report.

The planets have populations and I find it hard to believe that the enemy has parked a cloaked ship around all 4 planets in the system and not set off my mine fields.

There are space ports in the effected system, I don't see why that would be an issue, I've colonized other system that could build without spaceports.

What else could this be? This is a system wide problem.

I've had the exact same problem with version 1.58.

Nothing even near the system in question; My ships with tachyon sensors over the worlds; immense resource stores; full, happy, population; and somehow no resources available.

I'm beginning to think it's a buggy AI intel project that's un-detectable.

Is your expense each turn exceeding your maximum stores?
You may need to build additional storage so it can store enough for all your construction and expenses.
