Manually changing allocated storage space

[Asmosis]

Currently I'm just using the player HQ to do research, and it worked fine for a while. I could set the allocated storage space on the wares needed so that the manager didnt buy 15,000 cells preventing acquisition of anything else.

I encountered a problem though where after getting 5 different wares into the station storage, it will no longer add new wares for new research. I had to manually put some into the storage for it to show up on the logical view, but it has the allocated storage set to 0/0 and it wont let me change it, so as soon as i turn my back the station traders are going to sell it.

Is there a limit to how many different wares can be put in one storage container? I'm only using the small 25,000 unit container and the 5 items that are in atm only take up 12,000/25000 max allocated space (which isnt all used).

*edit*

Building another storage container resolved the issue, although I'm not sure what the issue was to begin with *shrugs*.

There are two issues at hand.

a) For the last Teleportation Research the Space of 25K is not even close to what is needed by the resources, not to mention that you'll also need some solid storage for the Nividium that is required.

b) I came to the conclusion NOT to have a manager at the PHQ until I am finished with all research. This way there is no such thing as allocation of space, the station buying stuff I don't want or selling the one I painstakingly get there. Once finished with the Research (all of them) I might put a Manager, if I want to use it as an "ordinary" station.

I've got the same problem again with the next research topic.

The new ware needed shows as 0/0 in the information section, and does not appear at all in the logical overview so i can't set buy/sell orders for it.

It also doesn't show up in the "select trade wares" selection list.

The HQ has a Universal container with 2 000 000 000 square meters storage. (I take it that is
sollids and liquids)
You only see this if you add a normal container to your hanger. I added large of course.
Your inventery is "hidden" in research, when its in one container, and visable when in other.
In HQ menue though both containers have the same name. Pretty confusing. So i call them
top container and bottom container.

If my wares disapears, somewhere in the Menue you will see they are still there.

Wares gone? Well i get a cargo hauler to take it out of the "bottom container", undock
your cargo ship, Tripple click on ship in menue and remove all commands and asighnments!!!
Dock your ship again and place the goods in the "top container", then i see it in research.
I have a manager apointed, but i Refuse to alocate a "subordinate" to HQ untill i have
finished research.

How to allocate a certain amount of storage per product, i do not know yet. will ripp
my hair out on that one another time somewhere in the future. Heck..it must be somewhere
in the menue, but have not found that one yet. The best is if i forgot where in the
menue i found it..aaaahhhhhrrrrch :D

Here's a screenshot of where I'm having the issue.

Initially weapon parts would not show up at all in the overview until i manually put 10 of them in there.

The checkbox for "automatic buy amount" cannot be unchecked, so i can't set the storage amount. I fired the manager, but option remains the same.

If i try and create a sell order, it wont let me enter anything other than '0' meaning i can't sell the weapon parts that are already in there. From the previous occurrence i can guess that building a new storage module (even though i'm only at 18k/50k) will cause it to start functioning properly but i can't keep building storage modules every time i need a new ware.
