Ware Stored/Wanted
Per-faction ware stockpile snapshot. For each ware the faction cares about, shows what percentage of “wanted” is currently in storage, with a visual bar coding excess (blue) vs shortage (red).

Section titled “Filter row”Faction dropdown at the top — click to open, select any enumerated faction. Screenshot shows Alliance of the Word selected.
Columns
Section titled “Columns”| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ware | Localized ware name. |
| Stored / Wanted | Percentage: Stored / Wanted × 100%. 100% = exactly at wanted level. 100% sometimes means “cap reached and blue bar extends full width”. |
| Bar (right side) | Visual bar. Blue = Stored / Green = Excess / Red = Shortage. Blue fill length = stored portion; Red overshoot = wanted-but-not-stored gap. |
Hover on the bar shows tooltip with raw numbers, e.g. Stored: 9231 / Wanted: 14258 for Field Coils.
Observed values (Alliance of the Word selected)
Section titled “Observed values (Alliance of the Word selected)”| Ware | Stored / Wanted | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Composites | 100% | Full. Blue bar. |
| Advanced Electronics | 64% | Some shortage. Red tail on bar. |
| Antimatter Converters | 32% | Significant shortage. Half the bar is red. |
| Claytronics | 0% | Nothing stored. Entire bar red. |
| Drone Components | 69% | Small shortage. |
| Energy Cells | 100% | Full. |
| Engine Parts | 100% | Full. |
| Field Coils | 64% | Some shortage (9231 / 14258 from tooltip). |
| Hull Parts | 100% | Full. |
| Allographyne | 92% | Nearly full. |
| Medical Supplies | 93% | Nearly full. |
| Missile Components | 100% | Full. |
| Scanning Arrays | 100% | Full. |
| Shield Components | 66% | Shortage. |
| Smart Chips | 99% | Nearly full. |
| Soja Husk | 5% | Severe shortage. Almost entirely red bar. |
| Turret Components | 48% | Half-empty. |
| Weapon Components | 61% | Some shortage. |
Read this faction
Section titled “Read this faction”Alliance of the Word is a small faction (per Military Ship Count = 3 ships, 1 station). Their supply chain is stressed:
- Complete outages: Claytronics (0%), Soja Husk (5%). If they need these for anything, they’re stuck.
- Manufactured goods OK: Hull Parts / Engine Parts / Scanning Arrays / Missile Components / Shield Components at 100% — probably arriving from other factions via trade.
- Mid-tier shortages: Antimatter Converters (32%), Turret Components (48%) — moderate risk if a fresh order comes in.
Column semantics
Section titled “Column semantics”- Stored = physical units in this faction’s storage across all their stations.
- Wanted = DA’s computed “target level” for this faction — usually based on their production recipes’ input needs + reserve buffer.
- Percentage =
Stored ÷ Wanted × 100, capped at 100% display (but excess is still shown as a fully-blue bar).
Read from another faction
Section titled “Read from another faction”Switching the Faction dropdown shows a different profile. For high-throughput factions like Terran or Segaris expect near-100% across the board (their economy is healthy). Struggling factions like Alliance of the Word / Zyarth show more red.
Bar color code
Section titled “Bar color code”| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue | Stored portion (up to Wanted level). Full blue bar = 100%+. |
| Green | (Not visible in screenshot but code-supported) Excess above Wanted — surplus stockpile. |
| Red | Gap between Stored and Wanted. Long red tail = severe shortage. |
Use cases
Section titled “Use cases”- Diagnose faction health: if most wares are red, this faction’s supply chain is broken.
- Predict AI behavior: a faction with red-across-the-board will likely fail to sustain new construction.
- Player trade opportunities: a faction with Red-tier shortages will pay premium for wares you can supply.
- Verify DA Fill effectiveness: if Fill is enabled, factions should stay near 100% across the board. Persistent redness = Fill isn’t working for that faction.
- All wares the faction cares about are shown — the set of rows differs per faction (Terran has Terran-specific wares like Terran MRE that Argon doesn’t).
- Snapshot at menu-open time — reopen to refresh.
- Related: Station Storage shows the same underlying data broken down by Producer/Consumer role. Fill Statistics shows what DA has done to affect these numbers over time.
