How to place structures on planet where I want them?

April 3, 2014 12:50 PM from

Is there something not working quite right on placing buildings on a planet? I cannot select a tile and have the building placed where I want it. I miss benefits of tiles (I think) sometimes when I place a factory over a space that boosts influence. How do you choose where to place them yourself... or is this something that needs to be implemented!

You can definitely build buildings where you want to.

However, right now there are a few things that are slightly uninuitive which results in confusion

1) Yellow tiles require specific improvments to build on them (arid/swamp building improvement). So if you try to build a research building on an arid tile for the research bonus, it will 'boot you out' if you don't have that specific improvement researched.

2) There are also a few bugs with specific improvement tiles that don't allow you to put specific structures on them as well.

These should be addressed in an upcoming patch.

Also it looks like the train hexes don't match the appearance of the planet terrain under them. All seems misaligned at least on my system.

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing the difficulty with structure placement and I look forward to the Dev team updating it.
