Hi guys,
it bugs me a little that setting the time for extraction must be done by a slider.... i have to manage 30 planets, replacing an extractor and setting the time bugs me. It would be more convinient to type in the new duration of extraction. Its just a small changement but would help guys like me alot.
What do you guys think about this change?

P.S. I need isk... Lol

Seems to me the easiest fix would be to have it remember the last setting.
I know my cycles are more or less always the same length.

I just memorized roughly where the slider has to be for the time i want.....

Seems like a lot less hassle than asking devs for a code change....

a single code change has got to be less effort than an eternity of trying to drag the damn thing to a specific 15 minute interval.

also:
- shift-drag all extractor head units! for the love of my sanity...
- preset formations for extractor head units!

FIrst of all you can only have 6 Planets for each Alt. So you won´t get a solution which includes all your 30 Planets.

And i don´t see the point why you aren´t setting all to the same time like 24 h and start it when your about to quit the game.
It would not be a small change what you propose. You wanna to include at least the combination of 2 acounts which is not that easy.

I Would be okay with additional point in the api but a idea is too much programming for a slight improvement. So a no from me.

well, skilling all pi skills to lvl 4 is no big deal. so having 2 accounts with spare alts doing pi is a good passive income. 2 accounts x 3 alts x 5 planets = 30 planets. no point having an account with spare alts slots not being used.
secondly, i do set them all to the same time, but the hotspots move on planets... and by 30 planets thats alot of movement.
it was just a suggestion, i dont know how difficult it is to change it numeric setting.
