(sidenote: Mods Installed - Downscaled Ships)

Found a planet with a deposit of 3 minerals and 1 Rare Crystal.

I do not possess the tech to mine rare crystal yet. As a result, I am unable to construct a mining platform to harvest the 3 minerals.

In the past I have notices I was able to construct one on planets in this situation, just that I could not harvest the rare crystal until I have the required Tech.

I recently took the star system from another empire. I do not know if the minerals or crystal deposit was created from start of game, or if one or the other was generated after start (ie from finishing anomaly research, random event. etc)

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Find a star system with Rare Crystal deposit, and another resource that is gathered by a mining plantform (energy, Minerals).

Attempt to construct a mining platform with a construction ship.

Tooltip will say "requires Rare Crystal Mining Technology" with a rex X, preventing gathering of base resource until tech is aquired to mine crystal.

Hello!

Thank you for the report!

This is working as designed.

I support the notion that this sounds like a Bug in the Design then.
If i do not know how to capture Rare Crystalls, I should still be able to get the minerals.

Same way a Black Hole Oberservatory is getting science and the Nebula Refinery is getting minerals, despite lack the Strategic Resource extraction technology.
