Panama canal

[IceSquirrel]

Since the last update, I can no longer build the panama canal.
Previously, it could be built, although it was even a colony that controlled the area. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the developers who have weird ideas?

Which last update? 1.31.6 should no have changed anything.
With which DLCs do you play?
Can you still build normal buildings in the province? Things which prevent that also prevent the canal.

Panama is owned by my Colombia colony. But previously it was possible to build the canal even though it was a colony state.
Have played several rounds where it is the same problem.
I do not use DLC except those that are free.
I use the latest version. The problem has been around for a while and I do not remember with which version it stopped working.

Oh, I didn't know that it was possible to build canals without DLCs. I though they were exclusive to the Wealth of Nation DLC before 1.31.
1.31 changed how great projects work and now they can only be built if you can built a building in the province, but to build in a subject you need the Rights of Man DLC. There is a bug there somewhere, because you can see and click the decision without DLCs. But I don't know if the bug is that canals in subjects need the Rights of Man DLC or that the decision is available without it.

You can see and click the decision while your colony is still developing, but it won't take. When the colony is finished, you can build it.

It's a bit annoying, and they should take the decision off the list until you can actually activate it; but the time it takes to finish a colony isn't really that much of a game changer for a project that takes so exceedingly long to build in the first place.

Which game version are you talking about? This thread is from game version 1.31.6 where it was not possible to build the canal in a CN without the Rights of Man DLC. In the current version you can build the canal without any DLCs. AFAIK Wealth of Nations has never been required to build a canal(despite what the 1.6 patchnotes say). At least the canals decision never had a DLC requirement.
