The problem with that is that the second 50% would be more expensive and the game would not know which one to build first.. it would make things a lot harder. It is not too hard to just click and go 50% and then click and go 100%

Regular overbuilding costs will remain the same whether you overbuild from 100-200% or 100-300% LG. It is cheaper to build that way (in jumps) because you avoid higher empire size costs and make better use of your construction bonus not decreasing systematically due to increased networth.

Elro, no more difficult than it is to build multiple buildings on multiple planets like you can at the moment. There is already a set order of operation for buildings is there not?

I mean that at the moment, if I build on a planet 50 MF's, 50 rc's and 50 cf's it will decide on the order that it will take the resources in a certain order as already set up.

so really. If i'm building 50% cf 50% TOS. from 100 - 300

it would be wiser to build 50% TOs first to 200. 50% Cfs second to 300% to ensure the expensive building is built first?

i did that anyway, without this ever so confusing order stuff.

is there an order in which IC picks, for instance, CF's first over TO's (not by expensiveness but just a random factor?) or is it alphabetical? or do we not know the order.

@flashy I think the order is top down as listed on the construct page. I need to check to confirm.

@gwynedd I still dont get what your point is. What I meant was that it would be a lot harder to implement if you wanted to work/fix around the lack of customizable order. On top of that it would hardly give you any improvement over the current system.
