Insufficient Maintenance Facilities?

[liveware (OP)]

So, I've encountered an oddity.

I have a colony with 100 maintenance facilities and about 1000 tons of shipping maintained.

For some reason, it seems the maintenance facilities are not providing adequate MSP to my ships in orbit. The ships continually run up their maintenance clocks while in orbit.

Any ideas as to why this may be the case? I have a spaceport, both varieties of shipyards, and sufficient minerals to generate adequate MSP (and also several million MSP in stockpile planetside).

Is the population large enough to work the maintenance facilities?

The only thing I can think of is if you don't have any maintenance facilities on the actual planet but only in space. If you have all the maintenance facilities on stations it might be the case the game expect the MSP to be in space to and not on the planet. If this is the case SM in a ground based facility to check if it start using ground based MSP.

Also, if you only have space based maintenance facilities they will not produce any new MSP as only ground based facilities does that.

When I encountered this problem it was related with not having enough MSP on the planet.

Ah, it was a population problem. Not enough workers to run the maintenance facilities.
