Probably not a bug if you click a paying slot on the board since you need all 6 crédits for paying the two extra mixers so you can't place it on a paying slot

This happened to me also. Once I figured out what was happening I realized it was correct by the rules, as it turned out I didn't have the resources, but I don't think a good error message for that should be "Action not doable. Should not happenPLACE_STRUCTURE"

I hit the same error in my game. I realize now that I didn't have enough coins to place the structure, but the text in the error message could be improved.
I needed 6 coins, only had 5.
