if you use food/oil sub, you lose something like 2/3 of steel production. which is not an issue if you don't plan on the planet to produce big fleets regularly.
my home planet is 162 and it takes in money just fine, the problem is it blew all budget surplus (after upgrades which was about half the budget? roughly 200k? leaving around 200k or so surplus) towards food/oil purchases (planet has 0 stock of oil regularly, food import has stabilised)... would be good if the amount of money blown on oil/food purchase (non ship) is shown in budget.. then again, budget is about the next turn not the turn before... maybe the cost is variable according to tax rate too?
