Either I am doing something wrong or I am running into a bug. I would greatly appreciate some enlightenment either way...
There is Elerium on the map, I build a starbase within a couple of hexes. Then I access the starbase and tell it to build a mining ring. Upon completion of the ring, it is a military ring and no Elerium is being mined.
The first time I thought perhaps I had mis-clicked and selected military ring, but after a second time I have confirmed it is not that. I have not experienced this with any other resource types. Mousing over the Elerium it says to build a starbase nearby, so I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.
