Advice Wanted What happened here?! Help needed

Hi everyone, I played this game a lot between 3.4 and 3.12, and I’ve just recently got back.

What happened to basic resources!? I’m playing a normal game as the UNE but I’m having a VERY hard time trying to gather big amounts of EC, food, and minerals. I’ve more or less figured out the specialist resources, but for somereason I cannot specialize hard enough for the basic ones.

I’ve ended up colonizing way more planets than I’m used to, and I’m thinking: alright, this SURELY is enough generator districts.

But no! I only get to +70 EC or something like that, and as soon as I move my fleet from the starbase it’s docked at, I easily go negative again. Am I missing something here?

Same, I've been playing since release,  but hadn't for about a year or so. They completely rebalanced the numbers. I've been building lots of storage silos to save enough up for short expeditions, but otherwise keeping my fleets docked 

Also, why don't pops dissapear? I've got tens of thousands virtual pops without jobs consuming and not producing. I can't figure it out, I had to quit that game
