Can't build some building categories for no reason...?

Can someone explain to me why I can't build healthcare structures in this region?
I have noticed this very rarely, but sometimes building categories aren't available for what appears to be no reason whatsoever...

Just to confirm, I've seen that too and only relatively recently. No idea why.
Usually in Health or Agriculture.

I also have a couple of Regions in my current game with the black-box icon.

Campania is my only source of sulfur. It can only be exported if I build a large quarry there. It looks like I will never be given the opportunity because infrastructure options have now been black-boxed in that region.

I believe it is because you are in an arid region and have limited access to water and many of those structures can not be built in arid regions

Yes correct, although the Herbalist should be proposed. Do you have the saved game? If yes sent it to
support@slitherine.co.uk

I think there are still quite a variety of buildings with no non-arid requirement that are not showing up. Neighboring arid regions already have a number of other buildings (although they may have been built by the AI before I conquered them).
I'll send the save game over.

There was indeed a bug, once solved I checked and many regions which had no proposal (including Eryx) had one. Some still did not have one, but inspecting them this was valid: either the terrain was not right, or an upgrade was built or a mandatory resource was needed (for example Ardanis, no mill because you need grain, and nothing else possible because the terrain disallow the rest).
Thanks for the save, I'm sure others had the bug too. It will make into the next official patch, companion to the upcoming DLC.

Thanks so much for checking into things! I'm glad I was able to help... Usually I just assume I don't know enough yet to figure it out.
By the way, I absolutely love this game. I've been playing turn based strategy since I was a kid with Civ 2 and this is easily the best new game I've tried in 5 years. Keep up the great work and I look forward to Persia!

I've seen it fairly regularly, generally in the desert regions.
