My sectors started to take money and I can

[marichek]

Hi mates.
Всем привет!
At some point of time during the game, my sectors started to take a 1K of each resource and I can't reduce it. And also I can't use saved resrouces.
Could spmeone advice how to turn off this resource sharing or how to take resrouces from the overall savings.
В какойто момент игры мои секторы стали забирать у меня ресурсы ежемесячно и я не могу это убрать. И я не могу эти ресурсы забрать из общего запаса.
Пожскажите плиз как это выключить, или может быть, както по другому надо настроить секторы ?

I can't read your screenshot to make a detailled analysis, but the general advice is to not use automated sectors. At all!

Sector and planet automation was always bad, and in its current state you would be better off releasing that sector as a vassal rather than automating it and leave it in your empire: that way you will get resources rather than having to spend some, no matter how bad your vassals fare.

Of course the best way is to manage everything yourself, even if that means a lot of management effort.

You can shift click the minus buttons or control shift click then

Hypothesis: You are sending sectors 1xxx money. But game UI just shows 1k. So when you cliking minus it reduces from 1xx2 to 1xx1.
Try ctr+shift minus button, or shift minus multiple times.

It means too much management effort. UI is terrible, micro hell is worse than ever... we need quality automation. We need it for, what, 5 years now?

UI is terrible...

Personally, I don't have a problem with the UI. Could you explain what it is you dislike?
Also, there are plenty of UI mods to address it.

I refrain to comment on mods on the forum, as it normalizes poor vanilla design. Here, for me, mods don’t exist and devs need to fix things, not modders.

To answer your question, I don’t know where to begin. Let’s just say, the outliner for owned planets and branch offices. Beyond bad.

Remember when auto resettlement was not a thing yet?

While, yes, some of the game mechanics are causing too much trouble to manage properly, you can get the economy on your planets working pretty well by just checking them out once a year, and build another district or building when needed.

If you automate sectors, you'll have trouble to survive against other AI empires. If you manage them yourself as described above, you can pull Fallen Empires apart by 2400.

Personally, my newest strategy of dealing with this is staying tall, saving influence to create lots of ECUs and rush to unlock Ring Worlds. I can then fill these ECUs and Ring Worlds with abducted pops.

Some players have set themselves a challenge to deliberately stay tall by limiting their empire to just a few sectors (or, in fact, just staying in their home sector). Maybe that is something you'd like to try if you're tired of managing too many planets.
