I needed to rebuild my PI setups.
I think, the game designers make that for mazohistics.

(1), i needed to select and delete and accept click all of my buildings one by one.
3 click / building.
For me thats 75 click / planet. 375 click all. Just to clear my setups. Shocked
No i dont wanna delete my command centers and make logistic again for that.
I will make 375 click, and i will curse game designers. Evil

  • Need an option to reset colony, one click, everything erases except command center.


  • (2), when in need build dozens of siimilar buildings, why i lose the building selection focus on the cursor?
    For this i need double amount of click. Instead of 125 i make 250.

  • Solution: make right cick to lose building focus, easy. Oh its already done when you build something.
  • So all you need to do, just dont lose focus when you put down your thing...


    (3), the links. Its really a mazo thing to build everything to very next eachother because of consumption of links.
    If i want high efficiency i need to do this. Why good this? Meaningless.
    Hate nice PI designs?

  • Solution: The links need to consume the minimal, withing a 400km circle. Maybe 300 maybe 500 i dont care. Figure it out.
  • That make the local setup free from links length stupidity.

    (4). Link upgrades.. who designed that? I wrote this before.
  • Pls make the PI link upgrade UI similar to Command Center Upgrade UI.

    (5). When you make links, you can make one at once. But most case you want connect more buildings in a line.
    Wy need click all the building?
  • Just mouseover your line, and links painted. Then click at the end.
  • This link painter mode would be an option at he planetary links menu.

    (6). Its a secondary priority extra. When you in planning phase it would be cool to move buildings with drag and drop.
    It is just for express to love players. Lol

    So i made 625 click to rebuild.
    Another around 130 to make the links.
    Link upgrades : 3 click one upgrade. First click extremly mazo because of short lenght.
    I upgrade 2 links to level 7 per planet. Thats 7 * 3 * 5 * 2. = 210 click.

    Summa around 965 clicks just to rebuild at 5 planet. Without routingAttention omfg.
    My hand hurts... ccp wanna hurt players?

    With my suggestions it would be :
    3 to reset - 15 all.
    25 to make buildings - 125 all.
    8 click to paint links - 40 all.
    6 clcik to link upgrade - 30 all.

    Summa around 210 clicks. Still lot of clicks, but 460% less than now.

    PI designers! Show some love!


    The routing is another topic...
