[2.51] Math and numbers glitched

Station construction requires 1010x Reinforced Metal Plating, has 12 in storage, but only 746 is still needed ... wut?

I have all stations scanned to to 100%, yet game keeps randomly forgetting it or just shows wrong percentages.

In the first case this usually indicates that a freighter is on its way and has a reserved trade for the difference.

As for the second case - agreed there are one or two odd figures when it comes to scanning data.

Nope no freighters involved, I delivered all some time ago and I could swear there were more Reinforced Metal Plates in the inventory before. 12 sounds too low, "Still needed" and requirement looks correct, but the inventory is showing it wrong. Tried through different GUI elements and they are all showing same BS as if save got this data corrupted at some point.

I may be wrong, but my impression with the station scanning loosing % over time is working by design, scan data does get old over time one would think.

For instance, that "coolent leak" that Yisha tells you about in the campaign, eventually gets fixed (one would hope). If you go back and scan those points again, you have the chance to get new special trade discounts (you fixed the coolent leak, but now you have excess stock!).

I always assumed the resources for building the station are taken out of the storage for construction. The architect is probably already building even though not all resources are in yet.

You keep getting discounts on 100% scanned stations too. The problem is that these numbers don't add up, you have 100% for the whole stations, then 71% for the part of that station and 100% for components of that part, so there's no reason for it to be if you have 8 components at 100% then it can't average to 71%. Also it's very jumpy at one time I have 98% scanned galaxy, at another another time I have 100% without actually scanning anything, it looks like it's just moody.

Station is 18% built so you are probably right.
