[Steam] Can't unpause Space Dock in a saved game

Unless I am missing something, I can't resume my build queue for my space dock on my home planet after loading the save game attached. ;)

Hi there,

Thanks for your question -- this is actually not a bug, but rather is because you are short on energy.  If hover over your space dock, you can see that it is currently using only 1,000 energy because it is in low power (paused) mode, but if you re-enable it it will take 10,000 energy (so, 9,000 more than present).  You only presently have 4,100 net energy free in that savegame, so you can't re-enable your space dock until your balance is at least 9,000; it notes that when you hover over the space dock, but it should probably say that on the hover for the pause button, too.  I've added that to the quick tweaks list, thanks for bringing it up:  http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,1932.0.html

The solution, either way, however, is pretty straightforward -- simply build another reactor, so that you can thus support more ships.  In this case, a Mark III reactor would be the best bet for the time being.  Or, if you don't want to do that, you can put other ships into low-power mode until you have a balance of at least 9,000 energy free.  But that's generally not warranted except if you are in dire need of energy (being attacked while a reactor was destroyed, etc).

Hope that helps!
