"Working" buildings

#1
On the Buildings page, what does it mean when "Working" is displayed in a the right-hand column for a building? I can't build/upgrade such a building even though the needed resources are all available.

I am experiencing the above problem with the Research Lab. I guess it means that the existing lab is currently researching a technology and that you can't upgrade your lab building and research at the same time.

Unless you have used rubies to que buildings, you can only build one building at a time.

Say you click shipyard level 15. You notice you have another for a metal mine upgrade. You have to wait for the shipyard to load, before you could click the metal mine.

While you are researching something, you can't build a research lab in the buildings. Unless you are building a research lab on one of your planets, hit that first, and then on another planet do the research.

I hope I explained that clearly. Good luck.

I think you can. If you hit research lab on a different planet FIRST and then hit research someone where else. I"ll have to check.

You can't research at all if you are researching something at another world. Also, you cannot upgrade a research lab anywhere if there is research going on at another planet. However, it seemed to be the case if you started "building" an upgrade to a research lab then started to do research at another world, it would allow this. This is going back two or three years, whether it was a glitch in the game, I don't know. Whether this is still the case, again, I don't know. As clear as mud? Yes.

Maybe I"m just getting mixed up. But I thought that was the case. I don't think it's a glitch. I think it has to do with IGN levels. Not sure though.
