I believe that you get the energy always after a FACILITY build UNLESS you put something OTHER than stockpile in the build queue. ( ie empty queues is the same as putting stockpile -- after a FACILITY build) No set of PBEM rules I have seen have required people to put another facility in the queue. Even the people that are against activelexploiting the stockpile bug ( placing stockpile after a unit) seem willing to live with it when it "just happens" after a facility build. I know that I don't like to be forced to use the queue in bases where I don't have a decided build order.

My information shows other - I played a humble beginning in SMAC and in usual manner when having >50 extra credits, every colony pods spare resources (when a base is built) were taken into construction of RecTanks, and only then it was the time for garrison unit to be built
I put Stockpile after a hurried rectanks (to end in 0 turns) and it gave me some energy and also left minerals from the previous turn for next build order - so I got energy and 3 mins for scout with which to start..
I ll probably do more research in this bug when my WinXP is back

i'm not sure, but probably yes

cheat

Does it (spare) energy appears only if military unit is built?

[Mart]

So the rule stands:
- we do not put stockpile energy after the military unit

This energy comes from all production in city, thats why this is bug, and doing it is cheating.

[binTravkin]

I meant,this energy comes out from nowhere or from minerals left over from production?
