That is working as designed. Ships on "foreign station" task will be moved by the AI randomly but weighted by the requirements of your colonies, The advantage is a) they contribute without delay and with their maximal nominal weight, ships an active fleet duty only contribute once they have arrived ...

They will be added to certain rolls in zone related events. Most commenly security for unrest. But there are also a few other from what I have seen.

<r> Based on a recent thread (can't link, it's called "Everything was fine until") and my own experience with seemingly sudden changes in my food supply (wich were actually more gradual once I went back and checked private food reserves, wich can serve as an hidden buffer for any issues). I would ...

<t> If "Emergency Food" is active and your zone lost its food producing asset it might have been sent there. Though the zone will go through its private Food reserve first. A sudden influx of private population or significant change in weather could also be the cause. Food production asset produce ...

From what I have gathered Service Industry is based on population not employed in Agriculture and Mining. Those 2 have hard limits based on planet size and fertility, etc. So too get a planet that has a high percentage in agriculture you'll have to keep population down.

<t> Rainfall seems to be the biggest factor for max population. I got 2500mm on a planet that in turn had a population of over 12 billion. I had to quit that game fairly quickly as everything was heavily irraditaed and there were too few surviving prople left to get started.<br/>

Just checked that save. I was slightly off on the population number, it's actually 8279.8 million people. I can't post images or links otherwise I'd provide an image.

You can't train replacements, but you can transfer equipment into the unit to turn them into a useful combat unit. They need to be in the same hex, when the unit is selected on the right sidepanel there is a "transfer" button. There are some limits about what equipment can go into which unit.

<t> I had a planet with a pre-war population of more than 4 billion people. 2 large (60+ hexes) ruined cities full of scrap and artifacts and I got to spawn in one of them. There were some really cool artifacts buried in that city.<br/>
