Robotic Troop Foundry

How do you build troops at the facility? I checked the manual and the Galactopedia and a number of screens but I don't see how. Thanks.

Without going in game but once it's built on the world when you select the world isn't there a build robot troops icon in the bottom left?

I'll check there.  I usually select the world then right click it to bring up the build menus.  There is no option there so maybe it's at the bottom left.  Thanks.

Yeah, when you select the planet with a foundry, there are two different troopers to choose from. Be careful of their names, can be confusing.

On the bar below the planet info where you can quickly queue troops, on the right hand side are two buttons. One is for facilities, it'll show up there. Bear in mind you can only build one of the three troop facilities on a planet, so if you've already built one, that would be why it doesn't show up. There should also be a right-click option on the planet to Build Facilities. Lastly, in the Colony management screen, there's a facilities tab that you can use. It's clunky and the only reason I use it is to scrap older troop facilities, but there it is.

His question was how to build the robotic troops from the facility, not how to build the facility itself
