Hello there...

I was playing solo game and i wanted my friend to join. So i've grant independence to one of my planets, after a turn i switched that new empire to a human player. But my friend could not build anything on that planet, lists for facilities, ships ... where blank...

Confused

Who can help?

I've never heard of games being started as a single player game being capable of being converted into a multiplayer game. You could start a multiplayer game and have all other player slots be filled by the AI though, so that human players can take over eventually. Most players would be horrified by what the AI makes of their empire though Razz

Pretty sure that "single player" and "multiplayer" games are exactly the same thing as far as the game engine is concerned.

Does the new empire have any tech levels? Every ship, comp, facility requires at least one level in some tech area. Try setting a different AI empire to human control, and see if you can build things.

How many AIs did you have Before you granted independence? There is a limit of 20 Players total including both Humans and AIs. Did independence create empire 21?

Have your friend take over one of the AIs, or start a new game.

There were 15 players before new empire emerge.
He took over the AI.

Change one of the AI players to human and take over that instead. I'm sure it will be a mess for a human but fixable within 3-5 turns.
