All things taking forever to build.
« on: July 10, 2014, 06:33:19 PM »
I got an error a little while back which I can't remember.   Since then all things on Earth are taking forever to build.   I have tried looking in the log for the error but have yet to find it.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The two attachments show how long the ships and buildings are taking.

What about the main economic screen? Do you have enough workers? Was your planet bombarded? To be honest, aside from some game breaking bugs I never even heard of, the only things that can slow production (not counting mineral shortages) are:

Lack of wealth
Political instability
Insufficient manpower
Radiation

If none of those things are the cause, then you'll probably have to look through the bug section.

I really think its a bug its happening on all colonies.  Luna for example is constructing infrastructure which wont be finished until 2600.  How would I report it as there is no way to make new threads in the bug section.

If it is affecting all colonies then the most likely cause is a lack of wealth. What is your wealth balance at the moment?

You're suffering an 80% reduction in build ability, that actually might be some conquered population stuff right there, we'd need to see the summary page and the ground forces page(not training) to see for sure.

around 4M by the looks of the picture.

Population shortage?  If he has 2000 Terraformers, Research Labs, Mines, Financial Centers, etc just like the other stuff, it all adds up.

My wealth is around 4. 1m with +22700.  On the summary screen I did see the economic production modifier which is only at 1%. 
I also remembered the error which was:

error in returndate
Error 6
Overflow

It can't be a population shortage, if you look on the left of the industry tab, Earth has ~10 billion people.

Yep the only planet with a worker shortage is Mars.   Which needs 5 million more people.

did you set industrial production percentage to 20% at start? that, having all of your planets being considered conquered, or some other modifier(all 5 of them are listed on the summary page) are the only things I can think of.

well then you should try to host your save file(stevefire.mdb) somewhere, we can't really help you without more information.

this might be a case of database corruption. I'm not sure how the modifier got set. also you've got 10 missiles in Ross 248 with seemingly unlimited endurance, might be related. trying to advance 5 days now to see if that clears up the issue, but you'll probably have to get someone with the DB password to look at the save. the 1% economic production modifier is definitely the culprit, but I'm not sure of what causes that. likewise there are an awful lot of civ freighters registering trouble loading and unloading right around when the trouble started.

[edit]
Update: deleting the missiles hasn't accomplished anything, same for clearing civilian freighter orders.

The 1% economic modifier is a symptom, it's not the root cause. Something is causing the happiness to drop. Is the population overcrowded? Is there sufficient military presence?
