Hard to tell without seeing your code. One common mistake is to set
acp-to-do-something to zero, which (illogically) prevents the action
instead of making it happen at no cost. Writing a new game from scratch is
hard. There are lots of variables that must be set correctly. It's much
easier to start with a game that resembles what you want to write and then
hack away.

If you email me your code I could have a look at it. You could also set
breakpoints in check_change_type_action and check_produce_action in order
to see why these actions are rejected.
