Topic: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

This has been said many times i'm sure....

At present, advanced building mode is basically rubbish.  Some fairly simple improvements would be.

- Able to select a load of planets and build up by 100% ob (so the planet size) in a selectable type of building.
- This might be more difficult but build up selected planets by a selected percentage, ie 25%.
- If you have selected a planet which can't have any more buildings built on it, an option to ignore that planet.  Rather than having to go through an re-select them all.
- A message that says, "you dont have enough end to build that many buildings, you can build 225" Its annoying when it just says you can't build.



As well not in advanced mode

- When generally building you get a number to say how many buildings in each type you could build on the single planet. This is invariably the wrong amount.  It would be useful as a guide.

I'm sure other people have more ideas.

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

i like the idea of the building to 100% thing it would be reeeaaalllly helpful smile

Fairly easy to program I would have thought

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

i like this idea, its awkward jumping to 300% and having to work out how many planets to build if for example ur at 227% OB (after a nuking or something) it would be so much easier if you could say click on 50 planets then click the building type then click 300% OB

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

fix the mass portal button where it doesnt kill ur old ones and restart them all(this is part of advanced building i think)

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

I like the idea where u dont have to build planet by planet, makes Jumps alot easier and faster to do.

Like jumping from 300% to 700% on say 300 planets takes an awfull long time, the mass build link should be Edited so u can select to Max out buildings on all planets thus building them from xx%OB to xx%OB in one hit.
the mass build atm is stupid and whoever implemented it needs shooting.

Also @ SqueakySmit

no need for that really only noobs make them mistakes allthough it would be faster and easier for bankers i suppose, but then again these ideas will make bankers even more lazy then they allready are tongue

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

lol

i reeeeally want this to be implemented

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

What if you try and do it but don't have enough? Should it throw an error like when you try and build or should it try its best to build what it can for what you have?

e.g. you ask for 400% on each planet but you can only afford 214% should it build the 214% you can afford?

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

No, It should deselect x amount of planets until u have enough, or take u back to the planets screen where u check the boxes and tell you " you only have enough resources to jump x amount of planets"
So

e.g you select 100 planets to jump from 100% to 300%, u dont have enough resources to do all, it should tell you then e.g "You can only build 82 of the 100 planets to 300% OB sir"

automatically jumping them to e.g 214% (rounding off) is decreasing the effectivness of jumping all planets in 1 go.
so u wanted to go to 300% OB, but IC auto jumps these planets to 214% instead, its going to be more expensive to jump next time.

Or

It could simply tel you how much stuff you are short to build x amount of planets to xx%OB

Or

It could give u the option to round it off e.g 214% on all instead off 300% and also giving you the option to deselct x amount of planets and teling you how many u should deselect to jump to the desired OB, Also displaying how much u are short to jump all planets to xxOB% thus giveing u the option to wait for more gc and ressys.

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

e.g you select 100 planets to jump from 100% to 300%, u dont have enough resources to do all, it should tell you then e.g "You can only build 82 of the 100 planets to 300% OB sir"

i like that one smile

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

A) Select OB % wanted
B) Select planets wanted
C) 'Calculate total cost'
D1) (if u have enough stuff) 'Do you want to build these planets, Sir?'
D2) (if u dont have enough stuff) 'I'm afraid we cannot afford that, Sir.'
with this, u will have the total cost for the OB % u wanted, then just have to compare it to how much u have...(or a way to figure costs)

when clicking the back button when u dont have enough resources, it should keep everything the same as when u clicked on 'Calculate total cost'....

Generally each planet will cost a different amount to overbuild...So '82' couldn't be
accurate at all.

Perhaps it could calculate the cost though, and display something like 'I'm sorry sir,
that'd cost 150 cookies but you only have 149.'

lol? if all ur planets are 100% and ur jumping them to 300% it will cost the same to jump each planet.
Also 82 was a example it would be up to the developer to implement any changes to and around this idea, so im just feeding ideas.

And no point Calcin The cost i have a infra Calclulator for that in Excel, also Silenz.org/matryx is available for IC'ers so that is just not solving the mass build function.

No. Because of different planet sizes.

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

yeh so read my post properly it could automatically just build up as many planets as it could to 300% from 100%
or
1 of the other options

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

silly Torqez

Canadians don't fear the cold, the cold fears Canadians!

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

Im with Torqez of that one, lol.

Also, I think it would be better for the message to say you can only build 214%. Then you realize you have nowhere near enough resources to go to 300% and can decide to jump to 200% instead. Whereas jumping 82 out of 100 planets would be gay bcoz of empire costs and con bonus.

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

even if its like-

if you select multiple planets and try build 300- but you accidently selectged a planet which only hold 225

so instead of having to re-select; it builds only 225 on that planet, instead of the 300, and gives u a message of "we were only able to build 225 on planets xx:yy:zz"

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

No thats stupid and defeats the object of jumping efficiently, jeez.

Re: Advanced Building Mode Improvements

so im wondering do we get a FULL BUILD button? i just clicked through 100 planets individually and fully built them with mfs.... theres gotta be a better way, i tried OB to % 100% to try and cheat the system so i can get them all full build, didnt work lol.
