Hi, just in case, you can use the Resource panel (which you access by pressing F2) by simply drag&drop what ever you need to craft (or in case you want to know what can you craft with it).
i.e. you can obtain core docs from any corp building where, the more far from ideology, will cost you more. But you can get all this info from the resource panel.

HI, thanks i was able to advance. but how can this game be this hard ! :p

oh boy, i feel so stupid, i just understand i could have build on the second ring since a long time !

I'm not really understanding how to expand, either. It looks like the only thing I can do on the outer ring is build a hub station on each one. I'd like to build my corp building so that I can get core documents, but I have no more platforms to build on and I can't expand out beyond the outer ring without a "expansion technology" at level 1, which I have no idea what that means because I've been through the entire technology tree and I don't see anything that refers to "expansion technology".
I feel pretty stagnant at this point because I've run out of places to build anything, even though I have the materials to do so. How do I expand or build beyond the inner ring?

Ok, after reading a few other posts, I found that there is a "Colony Expansion" technology under the Industrial technology tree. However, it requires "Core Documents" and "Core Invention" to be able to "learn" it. I had chosen the Cosmos Corp as my affinity, so it looks like the only way I can get "Industrial" Core technology or core invention docs is to build a Corp building on my inner ring and let it reverse engineer my documents into yellow core docs. That really stinks because in order to get everything I needed to build the Corp building, I had used up all the inner ring platforms. So, it looks like I have to recycle something and replace it with my Corp building?
This is far too complicated to get very interested in. I have a feeling I'm going to get frustrated and just give it up and move on to another game.
