I nuked a planet, adjacent to one of my planets.

My planet has a supply to it due to the command center, and I thought it gives supply to adjacent planets (which it does). But it wasn't obvious that it doesn't give supply to adjacent, nuked planets.

It seems like a bug to me. I know nuke planets cannot give supply, but the required supply to run my repair station on a nuked planet should be coming from my planet next door. Not from the planet I'm sitting on, like how all other "unclaimed" planets work. (Since it's unclaimed and can't technically be claimed.)

I believe this is actually working as intended.  Nuked planets do not give/recieve supply.  you can still build a command center on the planet though to capture factories and such.

It probably is working as intended. It just isn't the most intuitive option I guess. It made sense that it couldn't give supply, since I'd destroyed the planet, but it just didn't jump out at me that it couldn't receive supply as a result too. :)

Yep, this is working as indended.  Nuked planets are rather barren, and can't give/recieve supply.  Might need to update the text to explain that better somewhere...

Yep. :) I'm still of the opinion they should receive supply, even if they can't give it. If you're desperate enough to use a nuke you probably have enough problems without having to worry about the extra supply issues of trying to take over the planet one past it. :)

That and I think it would make the AI that auto-nukes it's planets on defeat considerably harder then it currently is.

Well, I feel like an area that has been nuked is something of a dead zone, you know?
