I'm currently relearning the game manually by playing the humanoids.
when i go to colonize a planet and then add mines and factories, it sometimes only lets me build 40-70 of each  why is this? do note: some of the planets were yellow (terraformable)
EDIT: the green ones (aside from my HW)can have alot more but not max ammount

Drill on the sun?! I'd rather freeze on Pluto than fry on the sun! What? How much minerals did you say? Well, Since you put it that way...Report message to a moderator

For green planets, the amt of f/m you can use* (not build) depends on the population you have on ground.
Try uploading the pop into a LF or freighter and you'll see that your usable installations will decrease.
As for yellows and reds, you can build only 5% of the max installations that you can normally build on a 100% planet.
That's until you terraform your yellow into a green (above 5% value).
Also note that you can build a max of 10 defences on a red/yellow planet.
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator

And the amount you can build in total on any given planet depends on the maximum population of the planet, which depends on the planet value.
Your HW is a 100% planet, which means it can hold a million colonists (more if you are JOAT and/or have OBRM; half if you are HE).
On your HW, you can build however many factories and mines that your maximum HW population can operate.
Each turn you will only use as many as the current population of the planet can operate.
If you use autobuild orders, the planet won't build more than what the current population plus the current year's population growth can operate (that way you don't spend resources building factories and mines you can't use right away).
On a 50% planet, you can build half as many factories and mines as on your HW.
On a 25% planet, you can build one quarter as many factories and mines as on your HW.
etc.

) but not more than that, as the growth rate drops drastically.
