how do turns play out?

[Taqwus]

Maybe it was fixed in a recent patch? All I did to automate the planet creators was to make sure they had a QR and a repair bay, to place them under Minister control, and to toggle on the Stellar Manipulation minister. They then went on wandering around turning asteroid fields to planets. *shrug*

As for design type, it was my own ('Stellar Manipulation', IIRC); since I added that, I doubt that the minister depends on it. It didn't have any other features it could use (like cargo bays for moving people, or weapons for attacking), so no other minister should have been used for it.
