no resort base build

[Kayoz]

issue:
unable to build a custom resort base at moon - "Affoaz"

steps to reproduce:
1. confirm existence of resort base "RB_M" in designs list.
2. move focus to system Aaghra
3. select planet Affoaz
4. select one of the construction ships
5. attempt to build a station of type "RB_M" at Affoaz

hints:
There was a mining base at the planet, built automatically at start of the game. I retired it.

Check the designs screen, your resort base is a 704 size base while your current limit for bases (not at colonies) is 690

[Kayoz]

Weird - shouldn't it give me a warning if I've gone over the size limit?

[Bingeling]

If it does that for ships, it should do that for bases.

I have never had issues with size of bases, so I have no clue how this has used to be.

[Data]

it's the same since the begining, no warnings at built time. For bases the idea is that the game cannot know if you design a base to build it at a colony (no size limitation) or not (size limited to your current construction yard tech)

[Bingeling]

It is easy enough to know that the design is too large to be built outside the colony, and put up a warning.

For resort, mining, star, research... lots of bases this is quite relevant. For space ports it would probably just be annoying, and I am not sure if one can be built outside a colony anyways.

No, it cannot. I think Elliot considered that a base not making the build list is warning enough. A more explicit message would be good indeed.
