How to destroy an already existing facility? |
As the title suggests, I'm having problems finding where to do this. Was simple in SE:IV but I haven't found the option yet in SE:V.
Ok, on my frontier I had just colonized a breathable planet and was congratulating myself on the lucky find when some random empire drops a couple freighters with troops on my unprotected planet and takes me over, lol. Ok, so I ended up coming back with some warships and I thought I was going to just glass it but they only ended up killing the pop off and it was still a hostile planet. So I had to build some troops and a troop transport, fly that through a sector with a blackhole to that sector and invade. Ok, fine, I took it over but they had built a small space yard facility and I want the normal sized one but I can't find where to scrap it. I see the button for scrapping ships but not facilites.
Any ideas?
ps- sorry for the nubbish questions guys.

...I found it, it was under Destroy Cargo. Facilities are now considered cargo? They were just facilities in SE:IV, lol. Hmm, so if they are cargo can you load a facility on a ship and take it somewhere else?
Re: How to destroy an already existing facility?
Cargo orders ... then scrap cargo (CTRL +K). If you scrap it you recover some of the resources used to build it (shown in the window). If you jettison it you receive nothing (CNTL + J)other then reclaiming available building space.
Re: How to destroy an already existing facility?
Actually there was a bug in earlier versions of SE5 in which you could trick the game into loading facilities into ship cargo; that was fixed in 1.66 
I'd consider it a feature though - if your facilities truly are only 1,000 kT and you can cram millions of people on a starship, why NOT load a facility? 
P.S. Do not click the wrong facilities to scrap! Unlike most orders, scrapping facilities takes place *immediately* when you click "OK", even in a simultanesous game!

Re: How to destroy an already existing facility?
Early in the beta, planets had a single space value for facilities, units, and population. So the scrap cargo order for facilities is just a holdover from those early days.
Re: How to destroy an already existing facility?
Another holdover to update or clean up.
Re: How to destroy an already existing facility?
the scrap option is indeed there. i can't tell you exactly where but right click the planet and choose it. a lot simpler that way imo.
