To manage your sector stockpiles, you need to open the Planets and Sectors pane. So make sure you are not adding resources to a stockpile that you may need manually use later. Once you have converted resources to a stockpile, they can only be used by automation for development. It's also important to note that YOU CANNOT WITHDAW RESOURCES FROM A STOCKPILE ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ADDED. The planet automation will then use the generic "stockpile" units as minerals when building. ( I'm still not certain how strategic resources play into this, but I believe automation bypasses stockpiles for them and draws them directly from your strategic resource reserves.) When adding resources to a stockpile, you can choose to convert energy or minerals to stockpile reserves. Stockpiles contain a generic resource that can be used by the planet automation as minerals when developing buildings and districts. If there are no resources available in either stockpile, the planet will not build anything. When an automated planet needs to build something, it will draw the resources from the sector local stockpile, if there are any available, otherwise it will draw resources from the shared stockpile. You can roughly direct what types of development will be built for this planet by clicking the "Colony Designation" button to the left of this and selecting a designation. To turn on automation for a planet, go to the Planetary Summary panel for that planet and click the "Automation: On" button. (note: you cannot turn on automation for your capital/home planet) When you turn on automation for a planet, the planet will automatically develop new buildings and districts as needed based on population.
