OK, this is probably a stupid question. All these years I've always paid attention to the maintenance points only. I never really know what's going on with the other two numbers (the raw and refined materials). So what are the other two figures for? When I'm trying to generate more maintenance points, I always looked at the galaxy overview (or whatever the name is--the window in which you can see all the stuff you have), see if the mines and refineries are in balance, then build whichever are short, or build pairs if they're balanced. Is that all we have to do for resource management? I never really used 3PO to manage this.

I don't know if anybody has ever experienced this. Later on in the game (like day 500-ish or so) my construction yards seem to build things slower. For example I had 4 adv const yards building two gencore2's. First time I checked the "Estimated day of completion", it said 630. But the yards are still building on day 630 (apparently just almost finished one gencore2). The yards finished the job however, but at day 652. So that's like 22 days to build ONE gencore2 using FOUR advanced construction yards. Shouldn't they only take 10 days to build one? I tried again, always checking after advancing one or two days. It turns out the estimated completion date keeps increasing although it eventually finished. This isn't supposed to happen, is it ? Has anybody ever experienced the same anomaly ?
