Due to constant rioting and huge killer debt I trashed most building from most world. Now that Im back in control I found out that I cant build anything these worlds because there is no construction building for them? The one that came free with colonisation was upraded to better and later destroyed. I would expect to have atleast that starter building but I dont have it even.

Are you saying that if you demolish colonist workshop you cant ever rebuild it even if you have lots of money, people and calm planet?
The only way I can see myself do that is if I destroy my own planet and then recolonise it just to regain the colonist workshop but thats nuts?
This must be bug or design error whatever. Is it in the fix list?

Doesnt anyone know? Do I really have to destroy my own planets just to rebuild colonist workshop? Is that a bug or is there som way to rebuild them that I dont know?
Id like to know this before I get home today to continue my game. [:'(]

The Colonist Workshop is supposed to be Indestructable, but it can be scrapped or destroyed through rioting. This was reported a couple of times, but it's still happening.
You can use it as kind of an exploit, by building 2 labs in a crappy system, remove all pop but 1, and scrap evrything else. Since 2 structures in the system don't ever require pop to run (sort of a design decision), you can have these low upkeep science stations of sorts in your crappy systems.
Hopefully it's in the to fix list.

I guess Ill just ship the population from those planets to hard labour in ice planets. I have plenty of dead places graving for more people anyways. Thatll show those rebels what happens when they refuse my building orders. [:-]

Luckily, the system will revolt and you get rid of those bastards... [:D]

That's the first time I've heard of the core building being completely trashed by rioting, and if that is indeed what happened then it's a bug.
It has been reported that you can manually delete the core building, and that's on my fix list, but I'm guessing people will learn not to do that pretty fast.

I destroyed them manually by myself, because of rioting/killer debt. They were not destroyed automatically.
