I'd like to check the savegame so could you keep it until the game is over and I can get the passwords.

Geo checked my gamefile when I had the same problem in the same game.
He saw it was reproducable and unexplainable and sent it to M&M, (Yes, You did it!).
I haven't found any solution!

According to Malfador it's a planet that's converting resources that has repeat orders that's causing it, it's correct for me!
Will test to remove that order, didn't know I had it, a mistake!

Every so often I get bitten by that one myself. Recently I converted Organics to Minerals unknowingly on a planet with repeating orders. After several turns, my organics were getting low and I had lots of minerals so I converted some minerals to organics. Then after a few turns, my economy went down the drain. Boy did I feel stupid when I found out that I was converting organics to minerals and back again each turn.

Well, roll me in sugar, flour and egg and bake me at 200 degrees for twenty minutes, then call me a sweet cake!
I was the cause of the bug all the time, now it's verified.

I had so good income so It didn't make any difference on the balance;
away with all resources of one kind (don't know which) and then try to retrofit and then receive plenty of income, never knew what it was.

I also had a planet with repeat orders on resource conVersion. When I cleared them Last turn, the retrofitting worked great. Thank you, Asmala for your assistance.

I didn't realize before that if you have a planet with repeat orders, such as launch mines, and then give it another order, such as convert, that the new orders are added to the repeat queue.

There is renewed hope...Greybeard

This sounds to me like we need some sort of more obvious notice of either planets repeating orders or the 'convert resourcs' command specifically. Maybe a log entry?
