Bug-Metal Income Incorrect

I have had this happen multiple times with both races and various maps.  I will look up to my income rates and see  the metal displaying something like -6, yet I'm not losing any metal.  I've had it say -22 when I was gaining something like 25 a second.  It's not constant, as it does finally adjust to the correct value after a few minutes, but it's quite annoying when it happens.  Radiocatives doesn't seem to have this problem, but I may not have noticed it yet.

If one resource depletes, and there are tasks which use both resources, then the rate at which both resources are actually being used drops. However the rate at which the other resource is actually being used does not get recalculated yet so it displays what the rate would be if the other resource had not been depleted.

Acehjm the numbers are technically correct. For example if you are -20 metal and -8 radioactives. But you have a total of 60 metal per second (requires 80 metal) and 16 radioactives per second (requires 24). What you will find is radioactives is your limiting factor in production causing metal to pile up. I hope this makes since to you and everyone else who thinks there is an error. If you are still on confused I can try to make a graph or excel go describe this phenomenon.
