    Build 78071. Disabled all mods. Launch via PAMM. AI skirmish. Play game for a little while with no issues.

    Then, out of the blue, issuing area build commands fail.

    The building blueprints and the white lines indicating the build order show up, but then disappear one after the other from first to last. However, the last build does not disappear and the fabricators sometimes build the last structure in the que.

    At this point, I can still build things (and in a que like fashion) but only if I manually select and place EACH structure.

    I have noticed this behavior the most when attempting to build metal extractors with an area command. If you click on the metal extractor in the build menu, then click and drag to create an area encompassing several metal spots, there can be two different scenarios. In one case the circle is blue, in the other the circle is green.

    Once the issue starts, the blue circle results in the problem that I have described. However, if I give an area command to build metal extractors with a green circle, the fabricators perform flawlessly.

    In either case (without mods), fabricators appear to ignore/skip area build orders in late game. And the metal extractors is only an example...

    Furthermore, I tried this on planets without tress b/c I thought reclaim might be blocking building construction. However, the problem persisted on moon, dessert, and lava planets.
