These planets with ghost mexes must end. This is an example, I choose a place to start and it is not possible to build mexes in designated areas, and worse is not possible to pass to the other side without losing 5 min to get it. This problem happens in many places on the maps, fortunately or not the maps (planets) are only 5, so uber need to solve this serious problem. If you are in a serius game, you just gave five minutes to the opponent.
In this situation, you could build a factory on the other side of the crack. And when selecting, be sure to click on the other side of the crack. Either way, spawns are a known issue. Uber is working on improving them and making them more balanced. The metal spots spawning on unreachable places is also a known issue that they're working on, and I've also noticed an improvement on. Hang in there! Beta is beta. :-/
What I've also noticed is commanders spawning inside cracks. It's pretty rare, but when it happens, the can't get out or do anything. Very frustrating, because you have to restart the game.
Actually, I won a game where I spawned in the polar cap on a metal planet. I managed to get an air factory placed, and from there it was a straightforward game until I got an Astreus and lifted my commander off-world to secure another planet. ...But that's a case o pure luck, really.
In this situation, you could build a factory on the other side of the crack. Yes!How can i now iff i do that wont happend the same,and then you tell me to buil or choose first the right crack
