Minister's won't upgrade planetary facilities?

The game is more hands on than most people are used to. Click on the CRANE icon located on the top row of Icons in the left hand upper corner. That is your Master Construction Que over view as Kwok mentioned.

The UPGRADE button is located on the tab list to the right about half way or so down the page. By clicking this you will tell all your planets, regarless of minister control or not, to upgrade ALL things that can be upgraded. In most cases this will mean that you will upgrade in order, IE shipyard II then Shipyard III even if you already have shipyard III technology. This is a pain, but you can manually remove the shipyard II from the que of each planet effected by such a thing. This applies to all facilities that have multiple upgrades available to them.

Actually, it's a wrench. But man, is THAT screen going to make my life much better! I was doing all that through the colonies screen. Thanks!

Ministers? Ministers? We don't need no stinking ministers!

I don't use them but the upgrade button is great. Be careful it can crash your economy. There's no "issue food stamps button"
