Hello I have the plain old dread lords version of the game. I don't understand why this happens, is it game mechanics or a bug? Someone please explain to me. I have negative 26238 BC with a income of 6597. I click turn, then it goes to -2000bc, everytime.
On lower difficulties, debt is capped at -2000 (don't recall if that's still the case now, but it's no bug).
That's not the issue, as I'm reading it-his income is going down.
Its hit the cap for that level of difficulty - so it shuts down lots of resource to claw back cash until the economy is back in balance - "balance" in this case is -2000bc. It probable that a close inspection of income bearing assets will show many if not all at zero, providing the means to rebalance the debt. Such drastic action also affects the stated income figure depending on how its chosen to forcefully rebalance everything and whats left, that has not been shut down, to show 'income'. It will also shut down a production facility thats operating at a loss (especially those) - further complicating the visible calculation.

Except that at -2000BC all production is still shut off anyway because he's still more in debt than -500BC.
I think the answer has been given already. There's a maximum amount of debt, based on difficulty, that has nothing to do with the -500bc.
That number on his difficulty is -2000 BC. In other words, if you spend 75000BC upgrading a fleet of large ships, and click TURN, on that difficulty level, your debt will be reduced to -2000 automatically, whether or not your empire is turning a weekly profit or defecit.
Okey dokey.
Look at the screenshots in the original post. That is not the question. His income is going down, and he's in greater than 500BC of debt both turns, so he has no production in either of them.
In both screenshots Income is larger than Expenses so he has positive income. Also the Treasury number is in orange indicating it is below zero but going up.
I believe Kyro has given the official Stardock response. Debt is capped at -2000. If you get below -2000 by say upgrading too many ships, you will be automatically brought back to -2000 next turn. A helpful 'cheat' at the easier levels I guess...
My bad.
He's still in greater than 500BC of debt either way, so no production. And it still doesn't explain how he'd have two different income numbers, especially ones that far apart.
Expenses don't really factor into the equation, but thank you for noticing that anyway, even though it doesn't change anything.
