No research centers on homeworlds?

Either:
a) the research centers are not available for construction on turn #1
b) there is a facility that produces more research points, that is being placed on homeworlds instead of the regular research centers.

Interesting...

Another new discovery - it only happens when player settings are set to "high" technology at the beginning of the game. That would seem to support part "b", but the planet is generating no research points at all - it simply builds extra mineral miners instead of research centers.

Well...that gets me started anywayz...i'll keep poking around. Thanks!

Dude, that's how it's supposed to work.

When you start the game with high tech, there is nothign to research, so there is no need for research centers, so they arent' built. You haven't broken anything, that's how it works in teh stock game.

Hee,hee.... I knew that I must be saying something stupid the minute I said it...i wasn't sure why, but i knew. Ahh well...I guess that shows how often I use that feature. :-)

Whew...anyway...that's a relief. When I saw that it was coming up in both my mod and in the supposedly unaltered Version, I started worrying that I had performed a little cross-contamination. :-)

Bbbbbrains....

You where not totaly wrong, When you let your empire start on a tiny planet. You don't get research facilities either.

1 Shipyard
1 resupply
1 mineral
1 organic
1 radioact.

makes 5 facilities , and full is your tiny planet

Umm... I believe you get the Spaceport before mineral miners, so you would only get either the org or the rad facility, not both.
