I think you could get this to work, but you'd have to make sure that any resource/research generation was less than the value of the lowest facility that does that generation. For example, if a level 1 research facility generates 500 points, your shipyard would have to produce less than that.

The problem is that the AI tries to be semi-intelligent and build the facility that generates the most of that particular resource. This is what caused the monlith facilities to never be built by the AI way back when.
