What tech does the AI not use and why?

CP do not use the Industry catagory very well. They do not use any bonus facility very well. The default Facility Construction file will build the system and planet bonus facilities first.

I tried using the construction minister and found the fool building these on small planets and in sparse systems. These facilities are a huge drain on resources to build, and need enough of the normal ones around to get a decent payback. I recently messed up an AI on PBW by trading it Industry 1. At only a 10% bonus it will go broke even if it does complete some of the robotiod facilities.

I have my own modified file for Facility Construction and one for picking the planet type. It makes the AI races challenging.

MODDERS... It been possible for some time now for each race to have it's own Facility Construction file. Please do not ignore your AIs resource income.
