Confused by Citadel resources
Quick find code: 135-136-239-66148798
Hi!
The tooltips for the resource counts appear this way when upgrades are set, so it can be misleading if you're unsure of how they're calculated. The numbers factor in resources that have already been used for the upgrades that are in progress for your Citadel.
Regarding the -318360 for Upgrades, this is calculated as the number of resources your clan has gathered during this week and used for upgrades so far subtracted from the total amount needed to build the upgrades. It reads as a shortage because there aren't enough resources to cover the cost during that week.
Total is the total amount of resources your clan has gathered during the current Build Cycle.
Regarding Surplus, you should also notice a number for "Upgrades part-paid" which is the total amount of resources that have been applied to your upgrades so far. Using this value, Surplus is calculated as: Surplus = Upgrades part-paid - Upkeep + Total
Regarding the Storehouse, the amount of resources gathered that exceeds the required upkeep amounts will first be applied to upgrades that are in progress. If no upgrades require these resources, some will carry over to next week while others are spoiled. Leftover Charcoal, Metal Ores, and Precious Ores will always spoil as they can't be applied to upkeep or upgrades without being used to make bars first.
Here's a helpful section from the Wiki that shows how the Storehouse calculates the resources it stores:

I hope I've answered your questions. Please let me know if anything needs to be clarified or if there's anything else you need help with.

You're welcome
Honestly, it is a pretty confusing system, and I've tried to ignore certain numbers while managing my clan's Citadel. In my opinion, some of the numbers are just excessive and cause confusion.
To clarify though, I'll use an example from our Citadel because the numbers are more easily accessible to me at the moment.
Focusing on Timber:
Our Upgrades: We're currently building 3 upgrades that require this resource. Keep Banners (Grand) requires 7k, Keep Doors (Grand) requires 200k, and Pennant (Grand) requires 22k for a total of 229k Timber.
At the moment, my clan has paid 34,343 Timber towards these upgrades from previous weeks, which ignores all resource gathered during the current week. (Upgrades part-paid)
The tooltip reads as follows:
- Total : 4384
- Upkeep : 705
- Upgrades : -34343
- (Upgrades part-paid : 34343)
- Surplus : 38022
These are calculated as:
Surplus = Total - Upkeep + Upgrades part-paid
38,022 = 4,384 - 705 + 34,343
Upgrades = Total - Upkeep - Surplus
-34,343 = 4,384 - 705 - 38,022
When building upgrades that are not Skillplots, the Storehouse, or the Battlefield, Upgrades and Upgrades part-paid will be the same number with the former being negative and the latter being positive.
Their only purpose is to tell you how much of your resources have been allotted for certain upgrade costs so far, not how much is left to finish them. To finish off the Timber requirements for our upgrades, we need 190,978 more which isn't factored in at all.
Since resources are going towards the Storehouse in your Citadel, the number is calculated differently, so they don't match up this way. From your initial post, the difference is due to the Rations that have been used for the Storehouse such that:
329,786 - 318,360 = 11,426
I hope that makes sense because it's definitely more complicated than it needs to be. ~ Sicariu
