She may not completely grasp the concept of Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri

Me: You can build recycling tanks, that will give you one extra food, mineral, and energy each turn, but if you build a recreation commons you can put this drone down onto the forest, then you get two minerals, plus the food and energy.
Her: I wanna build this [command center].
Me: Why do you want a command center? You're not even at war with anybody.
Her: It looks nice.
Me: If you just build what looks nice instead of what's useful you won't win this game. It doesn't matter what it looks like.
Her: I was just sayin...that it looks nice!
