STOP IT !!!!

Please turn off that change you made where it keeps repeating projects automatically. At the very LEAST don't make the "Station Garrison" project one that repeats automatically. I try to keep a pool of legions available, so I can station garrisons in "hot spots" as needed. But thanks to this incredibly horrible and annoying change, I discovered that ALL of my legion pool got sucked up because ONE PLANET kept auto-building garrisons. It takes a LONG TIME to build up a pool of available legions, and a very short time for one good production planet to burn them all up.

This is an absolutely horrible horrible horrible annoying change. I thought it was great when you first introduced the new projects that were "one and done" style. This allowed the player to set a planet to do something for a while when it was "idle" by stacking up several projects in the queue, and then giving them a reminder to update their planets when the queue ran out. Now it is worse than the old system where you could completely forget about a planet, because now you can have one planet take away all of your legions leaving you completely screwed and unable to defend your worlds from invasions. This new system makes it terribly worse than the old system because now I have to constantly check through ALL of my planets all of the time to make sure i'm not accidentally fu***** myself over (again). You made the micromanagement WORSE than it has ever been for planets. Legions are way too valuable of a resource to be on an auto-build. WAY too valuable.

Please for the love of all that is holy and pure to the gaming gods, change it BACK to the one and done projects. You have seriously made the micromanagement for planets suck way worse that it ever was back in "vanilla". It is NOT fun to have to scroll through my entire planet list almost every turn to make sure I don't have a project repeating that I don't want.

Agreed on the garrisons.  Personally, I don't mind the Research or Econ projects repeating, but anything that uses a resource should never auto-repeat building.

Ditto for "auto-upgrade" on planets.  But then again, you guys have heard about this one a lot.

I think the consensus is that it will be turned off (and that it would be nice to be able to click a 'repeat the project forever' button, if desired)

Highly agree with the repeat button feature. There are times when I want a planet to do something until I am ready to do something to it or that is its job (aka money, research planets) and there are times when I need to micro a planet to get optimal results. The AI hates it as well.

I just wanted to pop in and say that we've heard your feedback and are considering changes to this system.

Easy current solution.


Queue Station Garrison then Queue Aid Research or Aid Economy.    They only repeat if there is nothing else in the queue...

Problem is that won't tell you when your list of production requests is finished. There was once a list that told you what had been finished on each colony and shipyard as production finished. The was such a convenient feature, I knew it wouldn't last.

Oh I agree.   They need to make Continuous projects like they had in the base game.       And then Single run projects...  label them as such.

Just ran into this again last night. "Dude, where's my legions?"
