Description
[4.0.22][26d5] Planetary Automation doesn't work

Game Version
4.0.21/bb43 & 4.0.22/26d5

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?


Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
For resource specializations: Planetary automation builds only clone vats/robot assembly plants and urban districts up to required housing and then stops doing anything.

For tech-worlds: additionally to above, it builds research buildings in available districts slots.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Reproducable on both official 4.0.21/bb43 & beta 4.0.22/26d5. Attached save is from beta

Steps:
1) Have a progenitor hive with biomorphosis ascension.
2) Colonize a planet.
3) Resettle some pops to it (I did 5k)
4) Set planet designation to Generator World.
5) Enable planetary automation with all checkboxes checked.
6) Wait a few in-game months.

Actual result:
Planetary automation builds a clone vats, one urban district and stops

Expected result:
Planetary automation builds an offspring nest (first thing on all planets), genomic research facility, mutagenic permutation pool (they buff menial jobs), some generator districts and energy grid in it. It should not build clone vats if there is no pops to automod.
