does anyone know for sure how energy works? I read the another forum about energy but it didn't make sense because one of my plnets has -1126/175 energy and the factories are still producing. Is this a bug, should I report it?

The factories still produce if you have negative energy, they just produce less.

Does anyone know how the math works? Im just wondering.

Check Slash's response to the thread directly below this one. I don't want to copypasta

I already read this but it doesnt workout,
If 90/100 reduced your factory production by 10%, then 0/100 would reduce FP by 100%, leaving you with nothing.
My energy however was 1126/175 which would yield nothing, if not negative recources. However my mines were still making 9000+ recouces evey day. I guess it could be a bug but I just want to know for sure befor I bother zorg.

does this happen to anyone else?

The percentage rule only applies to when your energy is in the red. Mines take energy to run so you'll never have 100% of what your plants are producing unless you have no mines

whatever, I got all af my planets back to positive energy anyways.
Thanks for all the help

I try to keep them out of the red so I don't have to deal with those kinds of things
