I hope they add 2 columbs to all the construction queues that show:

1) If a facility exists within this system.
2) If a facility exists on this planet.

It's really annoying not knowing what facilities you have in a system already. And to go and look takes way too much time. The simple message about "another facility of this type already exists" just don't cut it.

Thoughts?

It works just fine if the facility is already built in that system, but you have no way of knowing if you've quened more then one.

Found that rather irritating as well. Especially when you could use the extra space & resources for some thing else crucial to your Empire. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

It doesn't work very well when you are building a ficility that shares only some of the benefits of a different facility. For example, when you have the Shrine that gives happiness as one of it's abilities, and then build a Temporal Vacation facility.

I think 3 columns in the facility queue would be perfect. One column will show the total # of structures on the planet, the next would show the total for the system the planet is located in, the 3rd will show total # of structures in the build queue for that system.

It would look something like this:
003 024 005 Monolith III

This would tell me that I have 3 fully built on the planet, 24 fully built in the system, and 5 queued up to be built in the system.
