My empire has a surplus of goods. My colonies produce more than they require. On individual turns, I produce +1700 goods or so. I had a fairly large stockpile, by my standards just starting. However, anytime I research or do anything that takes up a significant number of turns, I lose a ridiculous amount of goods. Why is this happening? |

Be especially careful when building large numbers of ships. |

Say I have 1.5 billion.
I purchase 1 billion.
After purchase, I have 1.5 billion, but 4 bil creds have vanished, and it shows in events.
Ive done this a few times before realizing that something was broken.
Not sure why it does this - food allows you to go over, it just disappears down to max food after a turn used - this isnt showing up at all. |

Not so bad if youre terran since you can make money off agri, tax or comm
Not so bad if youre Guardian as your industry is terrible anyway, but getting them on the market could be a problem.
If youre Aminer, goods shouldn`t matter at all unless youre going industry. |
