Odd Bug In Plyouth Colony Population

[Prometheus]

I've recently come back to OP2 after having set it aside for awhile (in no small part because I left my whole CD case up at school so it's one of the few games I can play).  In any case, I was playing the Plymouth Population Colony game, and I couldn't build the MHD even though I have the research and the resources,  the build botton is "Grayed-Out".  Anyone else esperianced this bug?

Probably stupid q's, but you are sure you had rare ore for it ?

Could also be that you hit the unit limit ?

[Spikerocks101]

Maybe ask it nicely if it wanted to be built? I truely thou think it is, as Highlander_H said:

Not Enouf Rare
Building Cap (maybe try this on first by deleting some useless crap)
or (IMO), you structure factory has already 6 things in it, but is every other building in the list grayed out to, or the build buttton, of just the MHD?

Hope it works out with you and, you left you CD at collage? (Should we tell you that it cna be downloaded for free, or is that just mean )

When the SF has a full storage, the Build button disappears and you can't even access the build list.

Same thing happens when you hit building limit.

Make sure you have rare ore (and enough common).

I think Highlander nailed it!  I forgot about the rare ore for MHDs.  I'll have my rare production up soon though. Thanks!

Hope you win, becuase if your playing on medium/hard, don't the computers attack?

[Sirbomber]

Yes, but it's called "building your own army and fighting back" and most of us have mastered it.

[Spikerocks101]

i was meaning, if hes on medium/hard, and if hes late in the game, rare = better army, no?

[Sirbomber]

Plymouth can do fine with RPG/EMP Lynx spam.  Rare is not as important to Plymouth as it is to Eden (who is doomed without it).

Large numbers of ESG+EMP Tigers can do good too, so rare is good.
