Thank you Tantalass. What do you get in the console when this happens?
On other playable maps with Ultima and Epic settings on the latest patch, rebuilding works normally.
I haven't rechecked the belt option on another map.
Here is what it displays in the console after attempting to rebuild the city: Attachment 67139
