AI does not seem to upgrade buildings

Has anyone seen the AI upgrade buildings? I've played 2 games as a megacorp and have not see ANY capital upgrade it's buildings yet. I think it's because the AI cannot manage the strategic resources required. It usually takes setting up buys and sells in the market to deal with the resources needed. That or the AI is just broken here.

They do have strategic resources from I saw. Either naturally or from synthetic plants (at least as long as they have workers for them). Seems more of an issue of not using them.

In my current play through I don't think I've seen a single upgraded building, but often see up to four of one building (foundry, precincts and research labs). I've captured quite a few planets, at least a dozen.

Honestly I haven't seen the AI do much of anything since the update (and I do otherwise love this update). I used to get my caboose handed to me playing on Captain difficulty. I've just quit two games this week on captain because by mid game all AI empires were either inferior or pathetic compared to me (although in one game the Great Khan was overwhelmingly powerful compared to me, so go figure).

The beta patch has a patch note something like "the AI should now upgrade buildings", so i assume it's a bug that they don't.

Try the beta patch.
