Unable to build when out of materials ... sometimes

When planning ahead, I'd like to create blueprints for buildings that I haven't got materials for: for instance, if I only have enough ceramic to build 6 of the 12 tiles I want, if I can schedule them now, my duplicants will build them as the material becomes available.

This is possible in some cases by continuing to drag after running out of materials, or by pressing "b" while a building is selected, but the "normal" path of clicking on a button doesn't seem to work.


Steps to Reproduce
(1) Have no ceramic (2) Click the "Base" menu (3) Click "Tile" (4) Try to click "Ceramic"; nothing happens

You can always only plan, what you got materials in storage (or lying around somewhere accessable). Thats how the system works. Its not desgined to plan way ahead. You cant plan a building made from materials you havent discovered yet too.
