Queue doesn't update when planetary space becomes available
If I queue a facility but don't have enough planetary space, the planet builds wealth instead. However if I scrap another facility so that space becomes available, the planet doesn't switch back to building the facility, despite the facility being queued; I have to delete it from the queue and re-add it. :(

RE: Queue doesn't update when planetary space becomes available
I think the same applies when I run out of minerals to build ships .. then get a treaty or buy enough to fulfil requirements.. the queue wouldn't update instantly.. but I always assumed it'll be done when processin ticks..
I actually prefer if it didn't update all the time actually .. somehow I imagine the client will slow down if it has to check the queue every time an action like that is made.. but probably it wouldn't affect things that much.. so nvm :p

Right
It should fix itself on the next turn. I believe it checks the whole list after everytime it finishes building something, including wealth.
That being said, if you can make room on a planet or get resources, chances are you can fix the problem with the queue. Since in most cases you must actually be there to manually do actions. (I guess the only situation I can think of is when another player accepts a resource treaty while you are away)

If nothing can be built because of lack of space or resources, it should go to wealth. However if the space or resources becomes available it should continue with it the next tick.
Don't expect to sell a facility to make space, and the production queue will jump right over to the next item in the queue.
If you have a specific case (like you seem you do), please PM galaxy, coords and turn pls, so that I can see with my own eyes, and check what's going on in the code at the same time.
