Cannot retrofit research stations

In my current dw legends game with beta patch 1707, I have 4 research stations built early on that are still on the first version of the design but now the game has already automatically made 9 upgrade versions of thoses stations and it doesn't look like the game allows me to retrofit the stations already built.

It seems that I can retrofit anything in the game without trouble (ships and all player made bases) except for the 3 types of research stations, is there any way to do it?
Thanks

Previously it was impossible to retrofit any bases which was not built at a colony.

Is this still the case?

If I'm not mistaken, you can't retrofit Gas Mining or Mining stations either. You have to scrap them and rebuild from scratch.

Oh i see, its probably not urgent to fix it but it would be nice if they add it on the list to do things :)

It always was this way, people complained often about it, and it did not change… I fear it never will, but who knows?

Tip, just use cheap 1 Lab research stations to clain the bonus from a location.
And add 10-15 Labs at your Home Spaceport.

The home-spaceport is retrofit very fast special at the Game start this give you a fast boost on research.
And the Cheap research stations use less resources and build and it dont hurt when they got destroyed.
