Status: offline 		OK, can you clarify. Are the construction ships stuck while building something or do they not even move to a location to start building?

I've never seen the latter, though if you are short of resources, a construction ship will get stuck with no progress until a freighter delivers the needed resourses.

Status: offline 		Is it a size limitation issue? are your mining stations too big for your current allowance? While non economic stations above a colony can be as big as you want them to be...mining stations can't they have to abide by your size rules. If they are too big then either alter the designed of the mines to be smaller or research increased ship/base size technology.

If it's not a size issue then are you on about automation? if you usually have it on for them and leave them to their own actions then you might have turned off automation for them (maybe through the setting that allows players to disable automated on manufacture) accidentally. If so then find and select a construction ship and make sure it's got like a blue arrow (I think it's an arrow) in the bottom right corner of it's ship information if not then there should be a button on the bottom row to the far right end that will turn it on.

Status: offline 		im an experienced player always play on expert with no automation, what i mean is when i first start a new game and build my first space port, explorers and a construction ship that construction ship wont build anything i can make it move to a moon or gas giant but cant build anything on them.

i always use the default construction ship and this is the first time i have had this problem. i never play without the AI improvement mod so i don't know if this is just the new 1.05 version of it that's the problem.

on some games i can build with the construction ships and on some i cant it seems random which new games will let me build with them.

Status: offline 		like Rifthick said, the most likely issue is that you do not have the construction size technology to build any of your base designs.

AIM 1.05 may be using base designs that are too large for early technology...
