How does the new sector AI work? Haven't seen it build anything

[MrChoke]

I set a build focus on a few of myt sectors and I don't think it has built anything yet. I know its all pooled resources from the empire now. Does it not take it automatically? Maybe it has something to do with the stockpile each sector has? If that is the case, I gave some resources to one and it has 100. But it hasn't taken anything out of it.

Can someone explain how the AI and stockpiles work? I am confused. Thanks.

I think I got it. It is the stockpile. I needed to give it more cash. So the AI NEVER takes money form the empire. Only from stockpiles. Correct?

This seems like cheating by the way. You can give energy or resources and it counts the same. So if I am resource crunched (like I always am), I can start getting my stuff built with energy instead. Ok, yes I know their is a market but it does charge a transaction fee. There should be some kind of penalty here too for using energy I give them as resources.

Sectors now give you 100% of what they earn and only build anything for you if you enable automation for them.

I want to know this too, can the auto sector took money directly, not from stockpile?

I also think the sector stockpile doesn't increase automatically (or at least it'S so slow that I didn'T notice it). You have to supply them from time to time with new resources.

This is true but you also have to dump resource in their stockpile or they do nothing.
