[Nitram Draw]

I seems the AI looks for the ability and doesn't check if any other component satisfies it. I tried making solar sails have the solar supply generation ability and the AI insisted on building 2 solar sails. If two components have the same ability but different values the AI seems to choose the higher value, in my example it chose 2 solar sails if the solar sail generated more supply than the solar panel.
You could try giving the master computer the extra ability and add it to the Borg Tech tree. The AI may not choose it because there is no value to increase.
