QUESTION: When I autopilot a constructor vessel unto any resource (doesn't matter which type) it inevitably creates a "mining starbase".
Furthermore I have never seen starbases acutally having any effect in the under starbase bonusses details screen in a colony. Is this also a bug?? |
As to part 1, you can only build mining starbases on resources. If you want to build a military, influence, or economic starbase, move the constructor to an empty tile and hit the B key. If you don't want the constructor to auto build the mining starbase when it reaches a resource, you can disable it in the options.
As to part 2, I'm sure the bonuses are applying, its just that the information presented to the player through the tooltips and management screens is a bit lacking. Check back after today's patch and it may be better.
