    Turn everything [OFF] then just turn [ONLY] your Collectors back [ON] click [refresh] * Note#1 if your Collectors are being upgraded they will not refill until Upgrades are complete. *Note#2 click on any other menu item such as Hanger let that page load.Then click on Skylab again. *Note#3 if your collectors are 0 amounts give them some time to start refilling. Important *Note#4 .... Leave all the Refineries [OFF] until your Collectors are full. Special *Note#5 your Solar ,Storage and Basic Modules Must be at least ! level higher than ALL modules ... Also , If your Seprom Refinery is higher in Level it will consume all your Refined material . Once your modules start producing again make sure your Seprom is OFF until all your modules are Full before starting the Seprom up

  4. It is not required to have everything FULL. While I was in the BUILD of my level 20 SkyLab I would allow the collectors to get enough rock for the start of my next Module or Refinery Build. I did have my Basic Building the next level then Storage and Solar would be just one level behind, as you could not start a build higher than the Basic Module current level. The Seprom was NEVER shut off but in a constant Build Status (no matter what level everything else was except Basic Module), Promerium would go up as soon as I had the basic ores to do so (but was building after collectors were level 4). I will add my guide below;

    Basic Module (built 1 level above everything else to level 20)
    Storage and Solar (start building as soon as rocks available while Basic is Building)
    Collectors (build as soon as rocks available to start all 3)
    Prometid and Duranium Refineries (these get started as soon as Collectors are level 3)
    Promerium, Xeno and Seprom refineries start as soon as you have started the Modules to B=6 S=5
    *NOTE* Xeno can be built 2-3 times while Promerium is building just remember if you want Promerium for credits Xeno needs to be producing.
    1. This is where it gets fun, look at the time for Promerium to build
    2. Start the Prometid and Duranium so these all finish at the same time
    3. Compare the Prometid and Collector build times and you should have enough rocks to start Collectors to end with all refineries
    4. IF you do this the entire PRODUCTION of SkyLab will be down and come up all together.
    5. Again Seprom is in a constant Build Status (You will understand at about level 15 as to why)
    6. When rocks are available start the Basic Module again
    7. Start the Solar and Storage as soon as possible
    8. Repeat Steps #1 - 7 until items become level 20 then skip that step.
    IF you need credits then let the Promerium create enough for you to transfer to the ship during the time it is down (500 - 1000 Premium per hour) then start the next series of builds. IF you have concerns of Collectors not collecting enough then BUY the Credit Robots and let them run the 48 hours they are good for ( I did this near the end just as a safety so I could start a build sooner ).

    There is a visual glitch where it looks like the Skylab is not producing (refineries show 0% production) but if you wait a minute and re-enter the SkyLab it corrects itself. See if this is what you are dealing with. OR are your Prometid and Duranium Refineries at the same level as the collectors meaning the ores are being used as fast as they are collected, if this is the case then Buy a Robot for each collector and you will build some reserves (not that you need them unless the lab is not level 20)
