Negative Research Income?

[Starshine]

Hi. New player here, this game is brilliant and the city is beautiful. I keep running into having negative research (-57) acouple fangs in. I can't work out why though, what am I missing that is causing this?
Thank you.

Sorry for reply late，can you give me a screenshot on the community?
In the information panel, there are 2 numbers like 1000(-150), 1000 means current storage and -150 means income-cost, which could be negative number.

In the current game version, Labour and Knowlage storage number could not be under 0.

I will make a large update soon in the middle of December, wish you like it then.

If you like this game, please give a comment on the store page, that will help more players know this game:)

Thanks for the reply.
I was meaning income not storage. As an example.
Here's two screen shots. All that happened inbetween was building the Peng Lai Dian palace. (Chosen at random, from other goes I tried different places and was the same.)

The income of knowledge goes from +40 to -60.
The storage only sinks to 0 and stays there as a result of this it doesn't go negative.

I am assuming this is intended behaviour and that Palaces shouldn't be built until I've built up more of the city to afford the upkeep. I just missed the palace caused it the first time so was confused. Hope I didn't cause confusion in return.
Thank you and I'll give a review once I've gotten further into the game so have more to say but so far am completely impressed!

All public buildings including the palace has maintain cost, and each palace building cost 100 knowledge per month.

Building palace will cost a lot of gold, labor and knowledge, and just gain Authority, which is consumed by the pop.
