X4: Foundations
When an X4 station stops producing, start at the red or stalled production box in the Logical Station Overview and trace its input ware backward. The official manual describes the overview as a flow of production modules and storage, and says a red production icon usually indicates missing resources. Then check that the correct Solid, Liquid or Container storage exists, the manager has operating funds and ships/ware transfers can deliver inputs. Because the inspected manual is version 5.10, confirm all steps in the current build.
