Summary0001230: Golems never have supply
Descriptioncurrently, I have only tested this with the botnet golem I have, but I'm pretty sure it applies to all of them. the screenshot clearly details the rest:

I have everything I need, and the golem should be funtioning, but it isn't.

Do you have a save game?

This may be your issue and the out of supply note should instead say "NO AI WARP GATE DETECTED"
Golems have been major reworked and the wiki is out of date still.

from the 4.0 release notes(SNIP)
Golems now require proximity to AI warp gates in order to function -- they have to be within one hop of an AI warp gate in order to attack, etc.
This prevents players from using golems to play "goalie" on their home plants, which could have created impossible-to-lose scenarios for players.
Thematically speaking, this is related to the golems being reliant on exo-galaxy signals echoing from the ancient Zenith civilization. These signals are normally not able to be picked up at all, but AI warp gates cause them to be amplified to the point where they are faintly available.
The cumulative effect of these changes is that golems are no longer such a strategic risk, and they provide some new excitement on the front lines, but are not useful at deep defense or on long-range raiding.
