(Minor Bug) Buy option greys out

from GalCiv2 Forums
It's a minor annoyance, but it's reproducible every time.

If I go to any given planet, and say choose the factory Improvement, and keep clicking the basic factory button it until I have factories on all the available plots of land, then when the planet is filled up the buy option greys out, and I have to click to next/previous planet or click done to get away from the screen. If I return to the planet then I can buy as normal.

I just tried what you described, but I can't confirm it. I assigned only factories to the home planet until all available spaces were filled. It then automatically returned to the first factory I placed and the Buy button had lit up. I know I've never had to go to the next planet and back again, as I've always simply clicked another square on the planet's map, then selected the particular improvement I wanted to buy. I'm running Beta 2A.

Do you double click in the available improvement menu to add the factories to the planet? Any other structure should work too.

Yes, I doubleclick on the improvement to get it to plop the improvement down and then it automatically moves to the next available tile. This only places the improvement, it doesn't auto-buy it. And I stand corrected about it automatically coming up with a lit Buy. This time when I tested it, it cycled back to the first one placed with an option to Demolish. I then had to click on the desired tile itself to get the Buy light to appear. However, I'm fairly certain you can do all you need to do while you have the particular planet's map up, without having to cycle to the next planet in the list and back again.

Hmm, try filling out the planet using the above method, this time click really fast until you run out of tiles to build on, does the buy button light up now?
