I'm building the Statue of Unbridled Excess, and I have 17M money left until it's built! But, it is gaining money, and I'm not losing any. I'm not complaining, but I have way too much to do anything with (I have 3 quintillion!). In the pics, note the time (top right corner), money, (middle-upper right side), and resouces left until built (bottom left corner).

First photo money being used = 18,418,287
Sec Photo Money being used = 18,319,023
Total money used to build at that time was 99,264 Unless you have the photos in revers the buildng is building .
As for your coins being in the green If you have ooo more then ten Investment Banks coins will come in faster then they are being used .
Even if you have tons of other buildings that make money this could still be true .
Only question left is how much time between the photos then you can estmate your build time left .
But going at full speed that amount of resources is around 8 - 12 mints

The point of the Statue of Unbridled Excess is that it takes a long time to build and takes a lot of money to build. When I built it I had ~70 bots working on it and it took over 24 hours to build. My inbound cash at the time exceeded what was being put into building the statue so that it appeared as though no money was being used.

My problem is that my money count in resources isn't going down. It is staying at 3,309,794,334,649,199,600 the whole time, even though I'm using a ton of it. The time difference between the first and second is one minute

It might be because of your buttload amount of money.

I can only confirm that the whole thing will get glitchy once u hit the 1 quintillion mark.
no money will be generating anymore and none will be spent on building. (only trades and payroll assist will change the value)
On 10 quintillion, it will freeze up your colony website. (no update on GDP and pops)

Soo…Since I have room for 267,000 colonists, I could probably dump a buttload of money on them, and have the last 20,000 colonists fill my jobs

If you do that, remember to factor in retirement!

The money from your colonists goes into the GDP too. So just gifting the mkeny to them doesn't helps.

Soo…How would I get rid of some of it?

Charity! You can give it to child-colonies under your charter or other indi colony that already has trading capability. The fastest way is thru trade since the max gifting will definitely take forever to even make a dent with your total amount. Ask them to sell their resources for whatever price you want to dump your money with.
