Can't build Shipyards

After the most recent change (which required an exemption in my Virus Program) I find I can not build shipyards. The build icon is not available in the lower left box on a core world. Any thoughts?

The icon moved to the upper left of the planet screen.

Sorry, I don't have a screenshot for you atm..

Thanks. I feel a little foolish now.

dont feel too bad, several people have had this problem. took me a sec to find it at first too. it def needs to stand out more, or put it in multiple areas so that people can find it easier.

I think it is better now. This issue only affects those of us in the Beta who were used to it the other way.

This is what we call the "keep ya on your toes" strategy of rapid development ;)

We're looking at better ways to catch user's eyes on the shipyard build icon on the planet screen. We hear you guys on this. It's getting missed for a reason.

Why don't you just move it back to where it was?  That's where we look to see what's available to build.

Because at the top of the screen is where I expect to go to flip to the shipyard for that world or to cycle to a different world. I really don't think anyone seeing this game for the first time now would think anything of that location.

Thanks. I feel a little foolish now.

If I had a nickel for every time I swore I looked for something and it wasn't there, then had it pointed out to me that it was right in front of my eyes...I could retire now. :grin:  Don't feel foolish!

Yep lots of us had the same issue.  My excuse is old age.  And maybe my 27in monitor is too big so that things get lost sometimes. (I agree, not as convincing.)  Once you have a thing set in your brain a certain way it is tough to do something different.
