Good Afternoon,
Having some overall frustration in pinning down why this is occurring.
I have 16 planets, 1 human, 1 rocktal, 1 Kaelesh, 13 Mecha.
I have built them to the attached from a table I found floating around on here when I started.
I have enough population to unlock the Kaelesh Discoverer Enhancement across my empire, and enough levels that I'm getting an additional expedition slot. Most of the time.
I have 15, but occasionally drop to 14.
Astro 29 = 5 Slots
Disco Class = 2 Slots
Admiral = 1 Slot
Gold Expedition = 3 Slots
Silver expedition = 2 Slots
Bronze expedition = 1 Slot
Disco tech = 1 Slot
I don't have negative power anywhere (thought it might have been one of my secondary lf buildings going momentarily unpowered and population dropping).
I have not been raided (decrease in population from that).
I have been stable on all of my planets, my last planet coming up to completion three weeks ago. I only noticed it right now because the expedition slot is so discrete, but i assume I've been periodically losing my T18s ... somewhere, and I can't for the life of me figure out where.
My next solution is to try and make everywhere food positive, but that doesn't necessarily solve my issue. Hoping someone has some experience with this. Can share any other details anyone wants. Frustrating when I'm trying to get my expeditions out haha.
Thanks in advance!
