more administrators needed!

You use up administrators by founding colonies and building star bases. You can get more by researching down the tech tree lines for cultural and governmental techs, or by building Administration Centers on your planets.

so there is a building that provides administrators later down the line? because i find it weird there is a limit on the number of administrators you can recruit from citizens while they make huge maps and you can colonize a whole lot more planets than 48 and built alot of stuff. im sure it fancies the micromanaging fetishists, but i prefer to just built everything along the way. 

The Administration Center improvement provides one extra administrator and provides an influence adjacency bonus.  It becomes available with the Galactic Governance tech.  I had been under the impression that it was a one per planet improvement but looking at it now I don't see that in the XML.

If you're interested, there's also my Administrator Training Institute mod, available from Nexus (nexusmods.com) that considerably predates the addition of the Administration Center to the game, and provides the same +1 administrator but has additional adjacency bonuses.  Even though it's old it still works with the Crusade, Intrigue, and Retribution DLCs.

Publius misunderstood the question I think.  There are only 10 spaces in the civilization screen available for the citizens that give admin points.  To free up space (and also get more admin points),  you need to PROMOTE some of those citizens.

Oh, yeah, I did.  I didn't realize he was talking about citizens.  I rarely train more than 2 or 3 administrator citizens, and promote them as soon as I can.

We could really use some way to train admin points much like how we can train new legions. Sometimes we don't get the resources we need to promote an administrator to free up room for new administrators.

how do you promote administrative citizens?

i found out where. i can choose between minister and mobster. but mobster needs to be malevolent. i need to colonize more planets. i havnt got access to epimetheus pollen though. guess i have to trade. 

I always promote to minister when I get enough pollen.
