If you bring Naselus a heart, a brain and some courage, then he might bring it back for you. But personally I do not dare approach the great modding wizard and his wizardly keep. 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Well at least in the early game you can use the Global econ settings to push your planets to 100% of whatever you want.

Honestly I think that needs to be removed too since IMO it defeats the purpose of preventing the individual specialization...it just requires more planning/management to make it work.

I sincerely hope that this is not the case.  A fundamental change like this is something that should be optional not forced upon us. This is akin to forcing us to play with a negative mega event every turn. 

I'm firmly in the camp that is glad the wheel has gone for individual planets.  Found it a pain to use and that I tended to just give up on it anyway.  I can understand why some people are upset about this change, but it has been well telegraphed by the devs if you kept an ear to the ground. 

I understand it,  for me i miss not being able to have a few super-duper wealth/research planets, but i am still totally ok with the change.   if you do things right with focus and projects you can still have pretty powerful specialized planets.  gov's still need work but they are much improved.

I've done some very very very preliminary investigations, and I don't think it will be possible to mod it back in. At least not easily.  Haven't looked elsewhere yet, but the main difference looks to be the file GovernPlanetWnd.xml in the Screens directory.

I tried a blind copy-n-paste from 1.3.2 into a newly created Screens directory in a mod folder and that didn't work.  Tried to put GovernPlanetWnd.xml in a couple of other places in the mod directory structure and that still didn't work.

Even tried to modify GovernPlanetWnd in the base game directly and that still didn't work (though I might try that again in OFFLINE mode to see if the file isn't reacquired).

Long story short, I suspect I know what SD changed (though there might be other places where it got changed as well - haven't looked that deeply yet).  I don't know how to change what they changed, however.

Not that I personally care too much about this as it is mostly an academic curiosity for me (I won't really miss the wheel except in the very very early game).  But for those who are really, ahem, steamed about this, there's the place to start looking.

I don't play betas. Are we talking about the wheel. I can see the importance on both planets, and civilization wheel. I think that the more flexible stardock makes modding the better. This way mods will be significantly different. I think this is the issue.

I want to remind stardock that it was a mistake to take out citizen management out of civilization, like they did. I hope I can still control what buildings I am building because that would be a detrimental mistake.
