Status: offline 		I do not know if I have a bug or not. I am running the latest version of DWU Distant Worlds Universe.

I have noticed that I am having a problem building mining stations. I have plenty of money, I am running a negative state income but the overall with bonus is well into the positive.

I can buy most anything I want except mining stations and my empire is grinding to a halt. I can buy a more expensive monitoring station on a planet but no mining station which is cheaper. At one time I had over 325,000 credits but not enough money to buy a mining stations at 3100 credits.

Game tells me I do not have enough money.

Same for the state when you include bonus income.

I couldn't figure out why I was getting a error message when trying to create mining stations saying Not Enough Money. Especially so when I could click on a more expensive Monitor Station and build it.

Status: offline 		What a frustrating game. I think I am going to give up on this one.

Just got my but kicked by a 3 colony empire and I have 10 times the military power. I have something like 8 transports and I cannot get them to load infantry for some reason even though I have 30 colonies. The bugs just walked in and invaded worlds and I cannot do much about it once they have taken one over.

My only saving grace is my fleets and I wiped out his but not till the damage was done. The only way to rid myself of these bugs is through bombardment and I am going through his worlds one at a time and wiping his troops out. Still I did that once before, re-colonized the world and had it rebel and I cannot hold it since I do not have any infantry I can transport.

There is something wrong which I do not understand. Trouble building mining stations has construction stalled in many systems. Cannot load infantry on transports which basically means you cannot conqueror anything or hold what you take.

Status: offline 		OK I think I understand part of the problem.

Even though I plenty of funds available to spend the game separates state from private. Private has 1K of available cash while the state is flush with money. Mining Stations are private while monitoring stations are state. Hence I cannot build Mining Stations while I can build Monitoring Stations. The money available on the main screen is deceiving to a player. It is only State funds.

Still haven't figured out why I have so few infantry. I only had one or two transports out of 8 with infantry on them. Something is holding back their creation though I know I have quite a few infantry in my state capital.

Status: offline 		You confirm what I have believe to be the case. The civilians pay for the mining stations, or at least they need to have enough money to pay for them.

It is rather uncommon for this to be a problem, I think I have had it happen to me once ages ago.

As for troops, is troop recruitment automated? You have quite a bit negative cashflow in that image, which may lead to the AI disbanding troops to save the economy. Also, are all your troops garrisoned? If there actually are ungarrisoned troops, any load order should work just fine, and any non-fleeted automated troop transport should manage to pick up troops (until full) on its own initiative.

Status: offline 		probably your taxes percentage is too high and the civilians do not have enough money to pay for the Mining Stations.

try lowering the taxes to them, it should work.
