Aeson -> RE: Can't build resort base - but why? (8/6/2014 4:53:15 AM)

Is there already a resort station present at the black hole? Or an existing order to build a resort station at that black hole? Does the black hole have a scenery bonus? Do you have enough money at present? (The cash on hand listed in the upper right is not constantly updated; open a menu screen like the ship construction menu or empire financial summary screen to force it to update.) Do you have a valid design for a resort station? Is the black hole within the borders of some empire that hasn't granted mining rights to your empire? If the answer is 'yes' to either of the first two questions, the game typically disables the option to order up another resort/research/mining station because there's no real need for it (and with mining stations there's no benefit); the tooltip for the button will also usually say something along the lines of 'station already present' or 'constructor already queued to build station here' if one of the first two is true and you can also see in the object details in the lower left corner of the screen something like 'construction ship Adventurous Wanderer queued to build Resort Base here' beneath the object name. If the answer is 'yes' to the third question, the game typically only enables the 'build resort here' button on locations with scenery bonuses or ruins. If you don't have enough money, then the reason why you're not allowed to do this should be fairly obvious, and the tooltip for the button will generally say something like 'not enough money.' If you don't have a valid non-obsolete design (which you can check by looking in the design screen, and which I believe will also be noted in the tooltip for the build resort here button), correct that and you should be able to build a station if there were no other issues preventing construction. If it's in foreign territory, try building somewhere else, or perhaps try to secure mining rights (this can be kind of difficult since it's not something that you can ask for, and I'm not certain that mining rights will actually let you build anything other than mining stations anyways, though I suspect that they will).
