Status: offline 		I have just updated my game with 1.03 patch and I have started a new game, huge galaxy (1400 stars) and sandbox mode as Human. Starting in the Sol system, I looked at the expansion planner to see which luxury resources were needed.

I located two of those resources on an icy planet in my home system, and I used the expansion planner to order the building of a mining station on the icy planet, but instead of building a regular mining station, the construction ship started building a gas mining station on the icy planet...

Status: offline 		Hey guys, I had a problem similar to this except that it was a constructor building a research base at a black hole and a neutron star that was obsoleted. I had obsoleted all the individual research type bases and made a universal research base, told it to to build this and it built say an energy one instead. I have since retried to build the "SuperLab" base and it seems to have a different cost every time I look at it from the constructor right click menu. I have yet to have it actually build the right base.

New game with 1.03, btw.

We'll take a look at this Astorax. Thanks for reporting this.

AI should not be permitted to build any design the player has intentionally removed, generally to prevent it from being built.

Status: offline 		Elliotg, I started another game (yes, I'm a restarter) and I'm starting to think it has to do with primarily the black holes. Again, I had obsoleted all other types of research starbases and then designed an "Omega Research Base" which is just all the different types on the same base. I zoomed into a black hole so I could see the event horizon thingy, selected a constructor and told it to build an Omega there and it built either a high tech or an energy, I forget now. Either way, both were obsolete and not even on the right click build menu for the constuctor.
