Tax is fine and forces you to do a little bit of planning ahead.[/quote]

2. Automate transfers from planet to station via a shuttle system - (new PI Skill) as in a small PM interface that can be controlled from any where.
The Need to be in the system to empty CO and storage including refills greatly destroys the PI affair.
To Be Productive you need many Char's involved and this takes away any other time needed for more interesting things.

There is not enough "NO" on my keyboard to express the amount of "NO" I feel in reaction to this. The CO has an enormous capacity. You can store enough input materials to keep your planets running for a loong time without ever entering the system. You don't have to visit the CO every time you make a transfer down or up.

3. All PI Menus should be re-sizeable ... endless scrolling and clicking is killing me and my joints :) and my interest in PI

Yes please. Just because T is at the back of the alphabet shouldn't make it take longer to set my processors to make them.

4. Once the extractor has rescanned and you select install program..? why is it necessary to Submit? you already re-scanned?
Why would you re-scan and not install and submit.? this will reduce wast full time and unnecessary processes

5. This one will reduce the pain greatly if implemented..... Once the Industry Facility Schematic is selected it should Automatically find input an output material from any storage facility After all the schematic knows what is required to do and has all the necessary info built in?

^. LINKS ... how painful, why would you install facility's and not link them. Automate the linking, end of story.


4. this is fine as is.
5. There are various reasons this won't work.
links are fine, you can do dozens of them with minimal clicking if you hold control.

The real issue that is both fixable and makes sense is to allow you route materials to or from multiple processors at once. link capacity is never an issue here, and if some wonky PI network does have an issue with linking one of the many processors, you can just make them do it separately then and only then. If I have material at a storage facility, let me point it at multiple processors at once. And if multiple processors should be able to route material to the same storage facility, even if they have different materials.

The other INCREDIBLY EASY AND OBVIOUS FIX is to allow us to install multiple schematics at once. This is EASY because requires no routing whatsoever to succeed. Its OBVIOUS because the amount of clicking scales linearly with the number of FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL processors.

I think you'll find that you do need to be in system unless you launch from the Command Centre and then your can floats in space for <>5 days I think.

Here's a more complex suggestion for expanding PI

Here is the Assembly hall version of this idea


Very undignified and shameless linkage...you should be ashamed. Roll

But if you want SimCity go and play it...simples.
