Ministry of Culture (Artisan troupe) does not appear

[MisterV]

I know there have been other bugs with the Artisans, namely the window not appearing. I've had no problems with them however, did some patronage and only one newsletter later they offered me the Ministry, which I gladly bought. However, then I realised it doesn't appear anywhere in building options.
Now maybe I'm stupid and I don't see something obvious...? I know it's probably only buildable on the capital planet... but I've tried different things.

Any idea about what I can do?

Not a tech support issue so moved to main forum. If the community agrees it's likely to be a bug, post in Bug Reports please.

is this the event i've heard about where they take your money and run?

It's buildable on any planet but keep it on a core world as the sector ai likes to replace it.

It's buildable on any planet but keep it on a core world as the sector ai likes to replace it.

The sector AI sometimes also likes to build it though. If you don't pause the game when accepting the deal, one of your sectors might have already build it somewhere, before you can select one of your core-words and place it there.
Scroll down in the buildings and check the "grey" (invalid) ones. It might appear there and if you hover over it, it will say something like "you can only have one of these"

Thank you, that was it - the building was snatched by a sector planet and didn't appear in any other lists. Didn't know unique buildings could be built outside of the home planet at all.
