Mining resources

from GalCiv2 Forums
i send a constructor to one of those resources to mine and when i go to build it. it only seems to let me choose from the military, economy and influence. is there supposed to be another choice or am i supposed to build the economy then upgrade it?

Not sure I understand the question. If you're asking how to build an econ, military, or influence starbase, you do it by clicking the construct button in the little window at the bottom of the screen when the constructor is NOT on a resource. Only the appropriate mining starbase can be built on a resource, and it's a different type of starbase.

I ran into this issue he's talking about.

You can currently build a standard starbase ontop of a resource by moving the constructor there and pressing 'b' or selecting 'construct.'

This effectively prevents you or anyone else from mining the resource.
I was a bit confused until I turned "always ask before mining.." on.

Nono what he is talking about is actually a bug. If an AI player builds a mining starbase on a resource then it gets destroyed, you won't be able to build a mining star base on that resource. Only the Military, influence and economy starbases will be available no matter what you do.

I suffered from this bug, and I was told that if you save and reload the game before building the starbase, then the bug is fixed. I didn't actually test it since I had already built a non-mining starbase on the resource, but you may want to test it yourself.
