I have been attempting a new survival world and have been in a little bit of trouble with come AI ships attacking, so I build a nanite control factory onto the main ship. However, the factory isn't giving any sort of signal as to if it's powered on or not. (no green, red, purple ect. just grey) I have access the control panel on the side but it shows no properties whatsoever. any help?

EDIT: I also attempted to place repair and projection beacons down and they don't light up either.
