Why can't I build the Beacon

Why can't I build the Beacon - Lighthouse on hill against gray sea

I have discovered the two Progenitor Signals and Decoded them. The Beacon appears in the build list and isn't greyed out. When I click to select it though all of the worker assignments in the city screen turn blank and the Beacon doesn't move to the Production queue.

I thought it may have been because I had 3 unemployed citizens so reset Citizen Management but that didn't help.

What am I missing?

How do I activate the beacon?

Place three rows of three blocks to create a three-by-three, nine-block total base. Place your beacon unit. Select the beacon unit, then select the middle iron block. The beacon should light up almost immediately.

How do I make the beacon light up in Minecraft?

To craft a beacon in "Minecraft," you'll need glass, obsidian, and a rare item called the Nether Star....Go to a workbench, and add:
  • Three pieces of glass to the top row.
  • One glass, one Nether Star, and one glass to the middle row.
  • Three obsidian to the bottom row.
