"Cannot build this type of station around any of the planets in this system"

Anyone know if this is a bug or not? What is going on here? I have a military power there and a mining station for energy, but it won't let me build a mining station for the minerals. What gives?

Happened to me once. In my case the problem was that an anomaly had CHANGED the resource type around one of the planets from, say, research to minerals, and I already had a research station orbiting that planet, so I had to destroy the research station and then build a new mining station. I can't tell from your picture if that is your case though

According to the map there are no planets in that system (Fuaewei) to mine. There is a world you could colonize that apparently has no significant resources and a couple systems to the "north" that you could mine...

Tries to build a mine when there aren't enough minerals to build it with.

Mining stations generally cost 90 minerals, you have only 86 in that picture... XD

doesn't make a difference but yes haha very good observation.

Actually it does make a difference, I've found that it says that it can't build stations at all, unless you have atleast enough minerals for one station.

Same buggy UI that sometimes says you can't build that type of station or sometimes says you don't have enough minerals.

Is it really buggy, if you actually can't build something because you lack the resources to do so? XD

i noticed there was also a change to the strategic resources in the new update. you discover them right away when a planet is surveyed, but you still need the research the associated tech to use them.

if a deposit of a strategic resource is on a planet, you can't build a mine/research station to harvest the other yields - you have to research the tech for the strategic resource and then you can build the station that will get both the normal yield and the strategic resource
