Can't build frontier outposts, mining or research stations.

I think it started happening after I merged two sectors, but I'm not 100% on that. It is a multiplayer game.

When I try to build one of those 3 stations it will say I don't have the minerals (or influence) while having plenty of excess.
I can still build wormhole stations, ships, buildings etc.

On 1.6.1

I noticed this myself. It happened when I closed a sector and inherited the construction ship. See if that's what happened to you?

Yeah, appears to be that construction ship specifically.

I'm sure that's still definitely a bug, and more so that it happened to both of us. Hopefully, Paradox checks out this thread soon.

Hi everyone, thanks for the report. I will have this reproduced and added to the database as quickly as possible.

This also happened to AIs. AI that lost its homeworld and force into one of its sector system got stuck with construction ship that cannot build anything, which is probably why sometime I saw AI having untapped resource in its space. I used play command to switch to those AI and got the same bug as op stated.

I'm having this exact issue using the 1.7.2 beta patch. I'm going to check if upgrading the ship fixes it.

Upgrading the construction ship doesn't seem to fix the issue, it still says it lacks the minerals to build it.
