Someone explain this to me:
At a new planet in year Z, I queue a Space Dock, which will finish in one year (the line is green).
Next in the queue is autobuild factories, which will finish in 1-6 years (the line is blue).
Next in the queue is autobuild mines, which will finish in 6-7 years (the line is black).
In year Z + 1, the Space Dock is finished.
The next thing in the queue is a partially completed factory that will be completed this year (line is green).
Next in the queue are the same autobuild entries. Factories are still blue, mines are still black.
Now, I want to upgrade my Space Dock to a Starbase, ahead of the autobuild orders.
I don't yet have any mines, but I have plenty more minerals on the surface than the starbase upgrade costs.
The starbase upgrade costs 799 resources. My planet is producing 204 resources per year, and is not over 100% capacity (I'm not losing pop each year).
Therefore it should take 4 years to upgrade the base ( 4 * 204 = 816, plus some from pop growth).
Since I get 816 resources over 4 years, I have 17 extra resources. That's more than enough to build a factory, so I add the starbase upgrade after the partially built factory.
But the queue tells me it will take 5 years. Why?
If I move the starbase upgrade above the partially built factory, the queue says the upgrade will take 4 years and the factory will take 5. But I have enough resources and minerals to build both of them in 4 years.
(I've heard of something about an invisible line of mineral alchemy at the top of the queue, but I couldn't find anything about it with a forum search.)
