I like this map. But there is something odd going on with the energy. I can produce more energy than is wanted but it seems shipbuilding struggles. Do anyone else see this?

i didn't get that issue while i had a bash at it dude, sorry... i have had ships struggle to build using power ships rather then inside the power zone ring projected around energy mines, are you building using ports?

I built the ships inside the power zone.
Notice the screenshot: production is 73, consumption is 36, yet "store" remains 0.

Do you happen to have the maker ships built? The custom module code was written before individual ships' energy could be modified, so they draw energy directly from the global energy pool when producing particles.

Yes, I had the maker ships built. I didn't know they invisibly drew energy. This is useful to know.
