I'm confused about how maintenance facilities operate; do they consume minerals while your ships are not in need of maintenance? I noticed that there was alot of projected usage in my minerals tab which was exceeding the requirements of the space-station i was building(the only task being done other than research). I have only 400 fighters in orbit, and the ship failures are turned off, so why is it stealing minerals? Does it consume minerals based on the cost of my ships near that planet? I noticed that this is remedied by removing all the maintenance facilities from the colony, does this mean i wont be able to repair my projected 2,000,000 ton titan? (my space station can only maintain ships up to 500,000 ton dreadnought class. )
Thanks for any help. (also im having a problem with a planet that has an orbit of 0 somewhere, i have no idea what system its in and theres no option in SM mode to delete planets.
)
