in older Versions of se4, it was possible to use modded data files to enter illegal designs into your queue. depending on the type of design, and what was wrong with it, sometimes they would not be recognized by the game host and deleted from the queue when the turn is processed.

That limit is on units in space, which WPs never are. It's possible to build mines and satellites and not be able to launch them until you destroy some of the older ones.

cap, are you sure, i know thats what it says in the manual, but i've had it where once limit for units was reached it wouldn't let me build any wp's. as soon as I destroyed some mines or sats, I was able to build, the wp's just stayed in the build que but they wouldn't build,

at least that was the way it was in earlier Versions 1.35 etc. really haven't paid it much attenion with 1.49, I just figured it was the same as before. have to ck it out tks

Well there are definately no limits on units reached as it is very early in the gaame. The planet is blockaded though. Does this reduce the available resources below what is shown in the eempire status window? Or is it simply not possible to build on a blockaded planet which is what I suspect.

Mmmm not sure about this. But is a Space port required? I know you can build WP's in a new system that does not yet have a space port.

Space ports are only require to get resources in, not to build.

Well, to be honest, not absolutely. I'm just repeating things I remember from older threads on these Boards. I've never run into either the unit or ship limit in any game I've played.

If an empire's only homeworld is blockaded, the resource production drops to the minimum of 500 per turn of each resource. I think losing the spaceport would do the same thing. It might also drop the available storage capacity to the starting level of 50000, but I'm not sure about that. But if it's not building the WP due to insufficient resources, he should still be getting some log message about it.

Blockaded planets are able to construct everything as normal. They only lose the resources that they produce. Well, they also grow unhappy, but that takes a bit of time, and isn't really the point here.

Default Re: Why Planet refuses to build?

just a thought, does your wp that you want to build show in the build que for that planet? If it does, what message does it say in regards to builds on you planet screen? never, or does it give time frame and if so does the time frame change each turn? Have you tried re-designing the wp? possible problem with current wp build for some reason. Try re-designing it and then try and build the new one, see what happens

Default Re: Why Planet refuses to build?

i have only rarely encountered this (mostly when switching mods and the component #'s don't match) but you can get things (ship sizes, designs) that you have designed but haven't researched. You cannot build these designs (as noted by a 'insufficient technology' in grey) but they can be put in your build queue IIRC. I'm not sure if this is the problem though, it would have to be pretty screwy for this to be it.
