Eventually all my starbases in Deep Space ends up without energy or fuel and the AI doesnt refuel them.

How do I manually refuel or bring energy to those StarBases?

Because the energy collectors dont work in deep space.

Sorry I can't think of anything. There is not an option to send in freighter with fuel and transfer the cargo over to the star base now is there?

For me, the game generated an abandoned Station in deep space, I've claimed it... yet no fuel left The game does know how to refuel deep space, since it does it for bases around black-holes (don't forget not a star either) In my case, it could be because this base is literary just over an entire sector away from the nearest trade lane or colony Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to build a gas mining station at the nearest gas giant yet (which is practically next to it anyway)

Edit: Just noticed, some freighters have turned up and started re-fuelling it, so it looks like a case of waiting until it's considered a high enough priority by the AI to refuel

But since it's not emmiting the radiation or light needed to power the solar panels, I understand where you are coming from. I forgot about the black holes and nebulas. I have bases there as well, I guess since I just deployed them, they havn't ran out of fuel. Thanks guys, I will have to keep my eye on this.

Hang on??? Are you saying the game threats black holes like an active star when it comes to energy collection? If so, that needs fixing lol

I've always known they are "ex-stars", same with supernova Perhaps with a supernova, it "might" be understandable, but with a black-hole, it goes against everything with what they are supposed to be in real-life (remember folks, alot about black-holes is actually still "theory")

Sorry I didnt mean it acts like a star games wise, I just ment in real life.

Well, actually the accretion disk surrounding an active Black hole is what is emitting energy. Anyway, the end result is that Active Black holes give off an incredible amount of energy.

I will just make research station with Energy Collectors near the "star" BlackHole.

It is also possible to steal energy from one gravitationally.
