I'm not sure if it's a design choice or if I'm running into a problem. I set a base with a rating of 16 to produce a facility, say a skylab for example and whether I hurry the production or let it take place naturally it will say it has completed but the facility isn't produced and the item remains in the production queue. If I switch to for example a children's crèche it will produce that, if I then switch back to the skylab it again "completes" production but no facility is produced. Secret Projects will complete as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks! It took me a while to figure out. It thought that you'd have to set a control facility for the satellite you were launching in each base as opposed to just launching as many as you want.
