Familiar Exotics: Part 2 requires impossible building

[Magma_Dragoon]

Build a petrochemical plant in Mandira. Nearest oil is 8 hexes away. Considering this quest triggers on turn 10, and the objective building requires a first ring leaf tech, I suspect Firaxis did not intend for the player to require a third ring leaf tech to have a "chance" at completing it.

I have this same issue. At first, I thought having access to Petroluem in another city might give me the oppourtunity to build the Petrochemical Plant in my capital (which is where the quest wanted me to do it), but it only gave me the option for the city that actually had Petroleum in it's radius....which seems counter-intuitive since the Petroleum seems to be added to a global strategic resource count.

Not precisely an easy solution, but can you spawn petroleum via satellite?

I have the same problem. I need a petrochemical plant in my capital but have no access to oil. Think I'll just restart my game.

You can use the weather controller and orbital fabricator satellites to create the resources you need.
