Just started trying to set up my new 'found' 2nd base...

This is simply the way the game is played. One technique some use is to research but not place a base. The resources that come with a new base increase as the number of bases increase so the 3rd base gets more than the 2nd and the 10th more than 9th and all previous bases etc. Join an alliance that will help you develop knowledge of the game.

sounds like someone was tired or maybe even a little bit drunk when they replied to this thread. i think gamerdruid or one of the developers should RE READ this post just in case there was some anomaly that caused this second base to be spawned without the correct resource amount being added to the newly found second base. the first newly researched base should come with 2m tib/crystal and if that is not the case than there should be an investigation as to why.

I wish I was drunk - but as it was just after 9am I was sober as.... well, maybe even more sober than ....

Tired, no, I was refreshed from a good nights sleep. He doesn't say how much resources he got so 2m of resource could be considered 'a little'.

There is no indication of the actual resources being below normal, just that there isn't enough.

I don't chime in much on the forums but the OP states he was only able to level CY to 3 or 4 and some other buildings to 4-5...resources from 2nd base is typically enough to get CY to 11-12 and other constructions to 7-8. So there is a slight indication that the resources are below normal. Unless of course he mistakenly upgraded 1 building to 13-14 then of course he wouldn't have the necessary resources to upgrade anything else.

Side note, I've never experienced this bug myself that OP is stating nor heard of it but that doesn't mean there may have glitch or not

I'm the OP. I've been playing CCTA since @ 2012 on and off. I know the level of resources that is typically received for a new 2nd base. I have "knowledge" of the game. I received about 10% of what I was supposed to get.

I have an open case at EA on this issue. They told me to do a 'clean boot' of my PC, in case something (an app or process) interfered with me getting the correct amount of resources.

It's highly unlikely anything on your PC (other than a wayward script) would interfere as everything is done on the servers, the browser is simply reading the results and displaying them. At least EA didn't give the usual message of 'We no longer support the game so ask in the forum'.

It's unlikely now that anything can or will be done to rectify the situation.

such a lackluster response it seems like the wind has been taken from your sails, i havent seen a whilst from you in some time either. in any case if i were to spawn my second base and it did not come with the appropriate resource allocation, i do believe this forum would be hearing about it until the problem is resolved... also worth mentioning, ive noticed the last no FA with morale server is nearing full and no new servers have been announced... if EA is not willing to be responsible for this game than i think its time to hand it over to others willing to do so. these last few servers and the problems presented in them have had a unique way of saying this game is very close to ending.
