Default AI scrap facilities to build advanced ones

If MM implement the logic to do the following, the AI improve much in long games.

Capability to scrap facilities in order to have free slots to build advanced ones.

Example..: planet with dome, and 3 mineral miner facility (3/3).
If the AI scrap one and replace it with an Atmosphere modification plant, in the medium/long term the planet have much more free slots.

Ditto for system wide facilities......

This is what the AI does already. Make sure you put the Atmosphere Modification plant early in the list and it will get built even if the AI has to scrap an existing facility of 'lower' priority.

Nope, it will not. The AI will never ever scrap any facilities except the atmospheric converter itself after changing the atmosphere. I proposed this many times to MM but until now to no avail.

This is very interesting. I have never seen the AI actually send SYS to repair damaged ships until recently, but you and others have seen it do so often. And you've never seen it scrap existing facilitites to build the AC but I have seen this done many times. Weird how the AI behaves so differently in different games. I use my own custom data files almost all the time, so I guess it's not surprising that things would be a bit different for me but it's odd that such important functions would be so widely different. It doesn't seem to be a very stable AI to be so easily and dramatically affected ...

About the AC....
In the Last game that i play (and still play), the AI don't scrap the AC (gold 1.67).
Is necessary to have the scrap minister on ?
