The Dead asteroid atthe BOTTOM of the screen (the one circled, indicating a trade port) most likely severed your route.

Trade lanes cannot for triangles, therefore, any planets that would make a triangle trade lane will sever the trade lane.

Try deleting the trade port there, and tell me if that helps.

Ohh.  I found the problem.  There was a trade port that was queued to be built at that dead asteroid, but I forgot to delete it from the queue when I realized it would mess up my trade route.  It didn't mess it up until it was finally built.

Sorry for the trouble .  Thanks for looking at it  .

Not a bug.  Putting a trade port on that dead asteroid did indeed shorten your longest trade route.

That terran planet is a choke point in your trade network, so it's the planet to count from.  Going from it to the ice planet that terminates your trade route, you have 6 jumps.  The reason why your trade port no longer extends to the dead asteroid beyond the ice is that you created a shortcut.  From the terran to that upper-left dead asteroid, it's five jumps.  This is shorter than the distance to the ice planet, so it's not going to extend the route any further.

By demolishing the trade port you just built on the lower right, you destroy the alternate route to the upper-left dead asteroid.  This means that the shortest path to it from the terran is 7 jumps.  This allows your trade port to expand greatly.

Always be weary of opening up shortcuts in your trade route.  It'll take a few seconds for the game to register that you demolished a trade port.  Wait for that to happen and then the longer route will re-establish itself.  Also, if you put a starbase there with a trade port upgrade, that needs to be demolished as well.

how do you get that infocard with all the income rates on it?

Put your cursor over your credit total, and it gives you a breakdown of your income.

TEC can research in the Civilian section to increase all Planet's logistic capacity by 4, including Dead Asteroids.
