Duplicate cause the site is borked.

I would like it working as well. 

I asked this during the stream but the stream via Twitch was really borked. 

Did they get around to answering if this is working as intended or they are going to fix it?

I came on here to post a thread on this topic glad to see someone has already.  Was going to ask about it in the stream tonight as well I have previously also but the stream was a total car crash into a dumpster fire so I watched it on YouTube.

I remember that, and the despair Paul's response made me feel.  This issue is seriously affecting my enjoyment of the game to the point where I don't want to play it, new features or not because of it.  I know the games in Beta (Alpha arguably) and certain considerations should perhaps be made but I think this should have been fixed by now.  Unless I'm miss-remembering we were told it would be.

If I understood correctly from the stream there's going to be a patch for this Beta is this one of the things that will be patched Stardock?  Would be nice to get some official feedback on this.

theres another thing if i can produce 1 titan or whatever the largest class ship is in one turn how come i couldent produce 10 tiny class ships with the same shipyard?

from my understanding even if production overflow is in it stops just shy of building a second ship

Yeah I believe he's said it a number of times, while I don't necessarily think it's the right decision* at this point I'd just happily have production/research overflow for 1 building/ship in the game like it was in Gal Civ 2 and just about every other strategy game going.

*I personally think you should be able to make more than 1 ship per shipyard per turn, currently there is zero point in focusing production from multiple planets to 1 ship yard because you'd lose a ton of production from the lack of overflow but even if there was overflow in a lot of scenarios you'd have way more production than you need to make 2 ships per turn e.g. 5 planets to 1 shipyard so would still be losing production.  They've created a mechanic that harms your empire if you use it.

But yeah I could live with production overflow for just 1 ship/building, it's what I expected would be the case when I bought the game.

I really think that this is 2 sides of the same coin....  given enough resources getting only 1 thing back from it is a bit crazy.   Having a large 6 plus planet and not being able to get multiple technologies a turn is like playing Sim City online. It forces you to pay a certain way. ...

i was mearly using this as an example but at the same time with a large focused planet i would expect that to be possible

I find this conversation interesting in the extreme, because I recall a comment Brad Wardell made about it when he was building GC for OS/2. He said one thing he disliked about MOO was that it didn't have a queue and it lost all of the left over production when a project was finished. At least, that is the way I remember his comment.

There was similar thread on FE forum: https://forums.elementalgame.com/440710/page/1/#3336665

Got no official response. Game is without it.

Since GCIII is a turn based game, I can understand the one thing per turn basis Paul mentioned. I don't know if it would be possible, but one solution could be, if one planet could supply more than one shipyard, which keeps the one ship/shipyard/turn limit, but allows focussed production planets with tonnes of production to produce more than one thing per turn. Maybe there could be a slider/box in the shipyard sponsor menu to define, how much of the assigned planet's military production gets to that specific shipyard.

Good to hear Paul talking about design philosophy in the 6th Feb Stream, not surprised to hear they can't implement more than 1 ship per planet/shipyard per turn I guess even with 64bit the game can't potentially handle thousands of ships.

At 11:49 Paul says we overflow 1 (in regards to ship production) Well it's not in the betas!! If they have it working in their version of the game that's great to hear though.  I think that will make a lot of people in this thread happy when we get it.

So with the 1 ship per planet/shipyard and overflow I have a few concerns still.  

1.  There's little point in making small ships since you can only make 1 ship per turn you want to get the best ship for your production why make a ship that's 100 production when you have 500 production available.  Better to always make big ships at that point.  How are they going to make small ships worth building past a certain point.

2.  Focusing multiple planets production to 1 shipyard still has limited use because of the 1 ship rule.  If ships were very expensive to make it might be worthwhile but would that be fun??

3.  Not enough potential control in empire management on the micro level there were slider locks in Gal Civ 2 for instance, i'd like them returned or something similar (not the tax slider though glad that's gone).  I'd like to be able on a planet to type in a cap amount eg 50 production max from planet x to shipyard y on any turn.

Blueqasar1 Reply #21 made a good suggestion, assume if they did that it might result in 1000's of ships still.

Macsen.

From watching the streams, it seems like the issues raised in this thread are major blind spots for Paul. In at least 80% of streams manufacturing overflow comes up. EVERY TIME Paul says its in the game, when every player knows it's not. Likewise, every time the upgrading issue comes up, Paul doesn't seem to understand the problem. He repeatedly asserts that it is always better to build the smaller versions first because then you get the added bonus while you are building up to the next version, but doesn't seem to understand how easy it is to build up enough manufacturing on a planet to be able to build more advanced buildings in one turn, or to buy them with credits.
