Stellar Forge Became Unavailable After Invasion (Bug?)

I've yet to see this happen or be reported. I was playing a custom race using the Arcean tech tree. No AI was in the game that used that tree. Anyway, the planet on which I was building the Stellar Forge was conquered by the AI. I promptly recaptured it but found that the Stellar Forge was no longer being built. No problem I thought. That fact just indicates the AI could not build it because it did not have the requisite tech. However, when I pulled up the production list to start building the Stellar Forge again, it was no longer available on any list (New, Old, All). I tried a different planet and could not build it there either. The option of building the Stellar Forge was lost. I don't believe this is working as intended.

I just had another incident similar to the one above occur. This time I reconquered a Jagged Knife planet and could no longer build anti-matter power plants on that planet despite the tech being available and not already being in the build queue for that planet. I could build the improvement on other planets, just not that one planet I reconquered. I note that before the Jagged Knife took the planet I had an antimatter plant on it. I have no idea why this is occurring. Has anyone else out there experienced this or something similar?

Evidently, simply beginning the build of a one per planet or civ improvement is enough to trigger the game to prohibit you from building or rebuilding. This would be quite a flaw in the game and should be addressed. The game should recognize when one of these has been destroyed, and should allow you to rebuild.

I agree. I'm going to go ahead and send in a saved game. I find it odd that no one else has reported this though (unless you are Mistralok).

No, I haven't seen this; but I know you Mac, and if you say this happened, then I believe you. You may be the only one who has seen, or at least noticed this. The chances of that particular planet being invaded during the few turns it takes to build are quite small. Then again, someone could have reported this via email, without bothering to post on the forums.
