Warning Newbie Question. Space Ports and Queues

[brianeyci]

I am getting several strange Messages in several games. I run out of resources for construction, while I clearly have sufficient minerals in my treasury. I have the following questions.

1. Do you need a space port to access resources for a space yard facility (ship/base construction)?
2. Do you need a space port to access resources for facility construction?
3. Do you need a space port to access resources for unit construction?
4. Do you need a space port to access stored resources in a storage facility?
5. Is there an Intel project that denies your empire the use of resources?
6. Is there any other reason I would be getting a lot of "lack of resources" Messages? (I clearly have enough resources in my treasury to build the items I need).

Thanks,
Brian
