Not Building Bases and Ships - 5/26/2011 11:10:17 PM

I seem to be having a spot of bother.

At least 4 different games with different setups (two in quick games and two in customised games).
When i build "space ports" and "defensive bases", i have checked on their progress's (with 35 components unbuilt), the game is on 4x speed and about two months later still the same progression (35 components unbuilt).

This is something that happens to multiple units at multiple locations.

Is this something i can fix this problem.

When the computer has set what ships to build, the game has no problem.

Oh and the bases are my creation (dont know if this makes a different compared to default constructions)

If anyone could help i would be eternally grateful

Game version is 1.0.6.0

As freighters are private sector AI controlled there is nothing you can do to allocate the necessary resources.

I've had similiar problems in ROTS with Constructors being "building" for over a year with nil stock resources and large amounts in the RESERVED column.

I've bug reported this here but haven't had a reply yet.

Check the design resources for these bases and compare with the resources available in cargo on those planets to see what you're actually missing.

Thanks for the replies.

Data, your right, i did have a severe depletion of resources, mostly thanks to the nob AI building 101 freighters at one space port alone, not to mention similar numbers at the other completed space ports.

Tried to turn off automated space ships building in the options menu, but ai still builds insane numbers of private craft.

My solution was to delete all designs and only keep the space ports till they were completed, then re-add the rest of the designs back in.

The only solution is a controlled expansion in the begining, the number of freighters is mostly dependent on the number of colonies. Same with passenger ships, the AI will build them even if they don't have actual work to perform to keep up with the expansion.

Status: offline 		Hello Data,

Would it be possible that if you are making a new patch to introduce a budget to the private sector. Like if your earning +600,000 each year, set the private sector a spending budget of a customisable percentage of your earnings (IE, 20%), so they can only spend 120,000, or base it upon your immediate Monetary Value 1,268,482(+628,555)?

Just an idea. So far ive made it so that ive deleted all freight, mining and passenger ships in my Designs page to stop the private sector's almost building, then added them back in when i've completed my projects
