LOA eating resources...

[unmerged(402260)]

I am playing as LOA, i have tons of systems..
okay some of my worlds.. specificly ones I build ships at, as apposed to building trade posts and that... are burning up resources..
why i do know, they are in red and some have hit 0.. I looked at my government, its Liberationism, I am at war but there is NO description saying your Loa destroy the hell out of resources during war or anything. just tax and moral production penalties ...etc.. not perma world destruction of resources. I am NOT over harvesting on any world, I looked at them.

so whats going on with this? what causes this? how does it effect the game really? does this mean those worlds slow to a crawl?

What are the civilian population/planet size of the worlds involved? That's the only mechanism I know of that could cause what you describe.

Wiping planetary resources will significantly reduce planetary industrial output (IO comes from resources*infrastructure and from imperial population, plus a little from civilian population), making it harder to produce ships, defense platforms, and so forth in the system. Other than that it shouldn't cause any harm.

they are 100% set cause I developed that tech that allows me to use 100% of the planet.. nothing ever mentioned strip mining... It is happening on almost every world, the sizes are civi size of 800k to 1.7mill or so. Again no penalty like this is mentioned any where i have seen yet. Cant find a reason the Loa are wiping out resources on every planet. thats alot of planets...

I don't know what technology description you misunderstood. I do know that no matter what race you are, if you have civilian population above 50% of the cap it will degrade planetary resources. Also biosphere, I think, though for the Loa that's not an issue.

Planet Population over 50% of normal degrades Reosucres. There is NO tech to prevent that.
If you make the Planet a Gem World it will still degrade resources as it passes the normal 50% Cap adn starts degradign biosphere as it passes the normal 100%

Size 10 Planet:
1 Billion: No resource or Biosphere loss from popualtion (there may still be from overharvest or terraforming)
1+ too 2 Billion: Resource Loss
1+ too 2 Billion on gem world: Resource Loss
More then 2 Billion on gem world: Resouce and Biosphere loss.

Loa have a lower Moral penalty for Overpopulation and don't care for Biosphere in teh first palce (so it is propably a intende tactic for them), but they still drain resources.
