Problem with Complex saying no resources.

Post by MarcusarilliuS_IRL »

Built a complex last night and it's working great so I decided to build another today in another sector.

Strange thing is that it is saying there is no resources and all production is at a standstill, even though all the bars are in the green.

Any ideas?

Here are some pics..

Which game? Your second link is a CAG screen and not a Complex stock screen which means the situation is left unclear.

Your complex is probably bugged or not yet completely connected up with tubes in the first linked pic as you are showing wares such as energy cells as a product or such as Cahoonas as a resource. Your only final products should be Rimes and Ore, everything else should be shown as an intermediate. (Unless you have used the Bonus pack to redefine the wares falsely.)

Even if that is not the current issue in your final complex, your self-sustaining complex needs to be seeded with lots of crystals or e-cells to start the production cycles off. Even with all the right factories all linked up, you cannot start production from nothing.

Is this vanilla???

Moving to the X-Universe forum as this is probably a gameplay issue.

Ah I think you might have hit the nail on the head :)
I prob need to stock up with some crystals etc. to get the ball rolling.

I will try that and report back.

Thanks.

I sometimes forget to give it an initial stock of e-cells.

Like a car engine...it needs power in the battery. :D

Though there's nothing quite like the feeling of returning to one of your stations to find it's full on all of the requirement materials (several hours/in-game-days later).

I agree.. my 2nd favorite Xfeeling is dropping in the first jolt of ecells and watching the bars slowly tick up until the whole thing is running smoothly :)
