ok here's my resources page and how it looks, just so i can refer to it and show how it's wrong and not calculating stuff correctly, and as a result, my (and likely everyone else) is getting incorrect resources.

issue #1 ... energy
calculation reads...
187+228+685-456-176-337 = -153
actual result of the above calculation should be = -131
the minus and plus values are actually being reversed for some reason because i'm in negitive power though, so the images calculation should read +131, but regardless of that, the sum is wrong by +22, probably resulting in me having to make an extra solar satilite just to get in positive power again, making me lose resources as a result.
issue #2 ... reverse values
as stated above, if you go into negitive power, all values seem to be reversed. Not a massive deal though, but if you look at the resource gaining calculations, it isn't working out the basic income correctly. it is removing basic income off the income gained by the mines. and so i don't gain as much resources as i should be getting, regardless of being in negitive power, as i know i should be losing some, but where metal is concerned, i'm losing half my res i should actually be gaining.
according to these results, it's technically possible for people to never gain resources again if they are in negitive power, and thus won't be able to get out of their situation, but only really would happen at lower levels.... though if you want to attract people to this game in the future, it's not a good idea to make people have to ability to not play the game due to a simple mistake :D
