Summary0003163: Spire City Hub placement
DescriptionIt is not possible to place a new Spire City Hub only '2 Hops' away from an existing one.
First Hub: Moatfuhung
Second Hub: Verribhung
The next should be placed in the system 'War' which is two Hops away from first Hub but it is not possible because of 'Cannot Place: Too Close to Another City Hub'.

2 hops in between 2 cities, or 3 hops away from any other city.
Everything is as it should. Loaded your game to only than realise you are using 1 hop too little.

Ok. But then why does it say '4) No planet within 2 Hops in any direction has a Hub'?
The first is to the neighboring system and the second to another system away from the hub (2 Hops). The same it says when you look at the galaxy map.
Anything else should be a bug or the text should be re phrased to make it clear that there have to be 2 free systems between hubs.

Because "no planet within 2 hops can have a spire-city", exactly as it says. It can NOT have a city WITHIN 2 HOPS, so the 3th hop will do :)

Dont really know what is so unclear about it. I'm not a native english speaker and I find it to be pretty spot-on.

The actual text in the tooltip on the city hub build icon says "4) No planet within 2 hops in any direction has a Hub." Moatfohung is 2 hops from War, and has a hub, therefore War is not eligible.

Verribhung, on the other hand, is 3 hops from War, and thus the hub there is no problem.
