Resource Silos?

[Baldrik3505]

Hi,

A long while ago game time, I made a few resource silos on Planets and Starbases since then, I have researched the Resource Storage - 100000 technology and this gives me 100,000 storage not 100,000 + the Resource Silos. My question is, can I now safely Replace the silo's with something else?

Thanks a lot
Dave

Did you ever even reach the silo capacity in the first place?

If not, yes.

If yes, also yes- huge basic resource stockpiles means you can afford more specialists.

Yes, I was overflowing on Energy, Minerals, Alloys and having the buy rare elements to save wasting. I think at that point I was at 88K for energy and 66K for the others, once I took the tech, it set the limit at 100K for energy and less for the others which is fine. So it looks at if the Silo are not doing anything, since it set to 100K from the tech (it actually said storage - 100000 not +100000, which leads be to believe that I can now replace the silos with something more useful. I guess I will just have to replace one and see!

Just tried replacing one of the silos with something else and it lowers the amount of storage capacity I have, I think it's a bug and something to do with the Research Tech that gives you 100,000 that means 100,000 INCLUDING Resource silos, if I had no RS at the time the Technology Research was finished I'd be much better off. I wonder if you can replace then with another resource silo and it would magically give me back the extra storage?

Does any have a clue how this is supposed to work? It doesn't sound right to me!

I don't think it's even possible to set resource storages to a static maximum via normal means.
There's only country_resource_max_add, which just adds to or subtracts from the storage space you have.

Chances are, you were at 200k resource storage, and then reduced that number by 100k when you researched the technology.
Or, the -100k dropped you into negative storage space which caused the game to bug out.

Definitely not, I was at 88K Energy (can't remember other figures but they scale with energy), I took the 100K tech, and after I had 100K INCLUDING the resource silo's. So if I had had 50K with out RS when I took the Tech, then I'd have 100K if I then built RS I'd have 100k+ whatever the Silos are worth.

Seems weird but it seems that's what it does, as I say I think it's a bug, but without knowing how it is supposed to work it's hard to say.....
