Summary0014921: Andor cannot start the federation
DescriptionDespite having mutual 300 relationship with the Thoraxian and enough Credits and the option to start a federation in a white font, the "make deal" button will not appear. And since the Thoraxians cannot start the federation at all, we cannot ally those two at all.

Andor is a interesting one, they randomly select 6 main topics in 8-9 topics In the whole game include the federationists.Sadly in your save your andor dont have the federationists (try start a new game with Andor and you will see).
Thoraxian can't start federation (its true) so if you really want AndorXThoraxian ,sorry, you can but you must add a thrid party like Skylaxian create a federation with Andor, then invite Thoraxian into the group.Please point me out if I'm incorrect.
Also you should see all the possible ways of create federation in the federation page, but the reason for you cant AndorXThoraxian in this case it didnt say something like "Andor current party must be federationists party " ,instead it say something unclear like "Andor current main party is Technology so you cant form federation :o " So I still demand a change of text

Well, there was absolutely no information that Andor need Federationists to start a federation and many things suggesting otherwise.

1) "Create federation with another race" is a general agenda, available to all parties.
2) The font was white, there was simply no button to confirm.
3) In "Federation progress" information screen this alliance was listed as "ready to make the deal"

With all of this I was sure that is was a glitch with the button.
I guess the menus need to be more clear.

1) Move "create federation with another race" to the federationist party.
2-3) Don't make the game behave like the federation is ready to go, when it's actually impossible ;)

I don't know what to tell you: they can join the Federation just fine. The Execute Deal button pops up just fine when you select it, even without a Federationist party (which I don't think I've ever had).

We seem to be miscommunicating. I am not talking about joining the federation, or convincing others to join the federation with the federationist party.
I meant creating the federation as one of the founding races. The button does not show up for me for some reason. I will add my save file. Maybe it's just something with my PC.

Now that *is* perplexing. I'm seeing mostly what you're seeing, except the Create Federation With Other Race is red (though the Thoraxian option is still white if you go into it anyway). The Federation window doesn't show the Thoraxians as a viable partner for the Andor, though it shows the Andor as a viable partner for the Thoraxians.

I don't know. I only heard about this "Andor must have Federationist party to start a federation" from you. I don't know if it's true or not.
As for the second part of the question, yes. The option to start a federation is visible (in red), after clicking it you can see Thoraxians in white. But selecting them does not give you the button to confirm the deal.
Sorry that I need to describe what I see rather then posting a screen, but I can't do that for some reason.

I did try .I won a game using the weakest peltian and andor
My andors dont have fedist party,and peltian somehow formed SAP(I may spell this wrong) with Skylaxian.I view the fed progress Only Thoraxian can form fed with andor but I cant, so at last I use skylanxian building 3 negative attitude building against peltian and peltian finally leaves the group and I create fed with andor and kill all others with bombs!

For 1.015:

* Fixed a bug where the "Execute Deal" button would not show up on the actions/deals screen because it wasn't factoring in the dropdown choices you'd made.
** For example, it was possible for the Andors to be able to create the federation with the thoraxians for (in that case) 3000 credits, but without the dropdown choice the game thought it cost like 40,000 credits, and wouldn't let you do it without that much.

Thanks :)
