My strategic resources?

It's close to the end-game and I'm missing strategic resource income.

Just before I started this thread I had 0 glassteel, for instance, where I had 4 mines active. Just re-checked what I was and wasn't getting, and now I've got an income of 2.. which, still doesn't make sense to me. I've been poking around the UI quite a bit to try and figure out what's going on, but... nothing so far. So, uh... what's going on? XD

You are building structures that require the initial investiture of those resources perhaps? or maybe your units are using them up with their equipment?

do you pay resources per turn as maintenance on units? O.o (building structures would take those resources away from your stockpile, not your actual income. Also advanced about 13 turns, and in that time my glassteel production's gone up to 6, and is now back down to 4) XD

Is winter active? I've had it drop my production to zero a couple times during late game.

Winter is active, but isn't that just a static drop? It wouldn't account for a variable income rate. (Also, the number of units that I had, that had resource-based equipment on them was fixed during this entire time, so it couldn't be that, I think)

Strategic production can depend on a lot of things :

Which speed do you play with ? Endless has a 0.5 multiplier, normal has 1 and fast has something like 2.

Do you have Silics assimilated ? Mining rights ? Governor with + strategic ressource ? Winter ? Siege ? Cultists ?

Actually, the strategic ressource modifier on winter can have weird effects, since it's -0.5 strategic ressource on the base then modified, which means that an active mine in endless speed can produce 0.

Are you vaulters and is it your holy ressource ? Or did you change of holy ressource (activated a booster of strategic ressources) ?

Units don't need strategic ressource maintenance, it's only dust. Same for buildings, it's only an investment, not strategic maintenance.

I was Drakken, and all of my resources were affected.

I was playing on normal speed, 1 silic village the entire game. Didn't start building mining rights until later, and did see an overall increase in production... But there was still variable decreases and increases across a range of about 0-6, through winter and summer. No governor, winter /seems/ to be accounted for. No sieges, 1 enemy was cultists.

Winter can have 'weird' effects? O.o I thought its penalty was accounted for in the empire summary screen, was listed as -1 / mine.

thanks for clarification on the maintenance, that's what I /thought/ it was... but with this I wasn't so sure suddenly XD

winter effects are random each game. some games you'll get strategic resource penalty, some games you won't.

"Each game", so it's one winter effect per game? Which then wouldn't cover my strategic resource income fluctuating within the span of one game. I'm trying to understand because I went 100 turns with 0 income for a huge bunch of them, which was a bit of an issue XD

ok, my earlier reply isn't really related to your question when I think about it now. so just upload your save file and we can figure out what's wrong with your resource income.
