ever run into this problem

i ended up with having no problems untill i turned up research to max and found out that it puts me a -1300 income from 200 and even trying to a little research sends me far negitives

 

 

heh it was a good thing i could switch between military turning off all starports so a few turns buildup and then a turn that gets tons of stuff with research

Might be that unused social goes back into your economy, switcihng from having idle social to full nuts on research would be a cause for a -1500bc swing.

Hi!

ever run into this problem
End of quote

Yep. The reason is simple: you have too many production buildings and too few econ ones to sustain 100% production output. Unfortunately the solution is not so simple. Increasing econ output takes time and money. Time to grow more pop (to make more taxes), and money to build more econ structures (markets, a farm or two, one or two morale ones). Until then you can cover some of those expenses by selling unimportant tech, or just decrease research funding.

Yeah...what I said, more words and explaination lol.

Before his factories were sitting idle, only costing maintenance.  Now they fired up to do research and the cost of them running is tanking his economy.
