Crusades: Unintended effect of new resource system: auto-upgrades prevent accumulation of resources.

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I've been trying to stockpile Durantium so as to build a Manufacturing capital (it needs 10) and the total kept diminishing. Couldn't understand this till I realised that the planets have been queuing upgrades which use Durantium and then activating them when enough came on line.

The solution, as of now, was to go through all of them deactivating auto-upgrade improvements which was a mild pain (wiht 29 at present).

So please could Stardock, if possible,  give us a switch of some sort to perform the task in one fell swoop.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi again,

Actually, of course, I was being very dozy and just had to go through the planet windows finding queued upgrades to megafactories and removing them.

So not really a problem but confusing at the time.

Cheers,

Jon

Heh, never ran into that...

I'd suggest moving to the second tier of mining research before you get that far up industry, you need a lot of resources by that point that you just wont have without upgraded starbase mining.

I'd also be OK if there were somewhat more durantium in the game.

Never. Ever. Play this game with auto-upgrade enable. EVER. It never do any good for you and it never do any good for anyone since it launch. I don't get why they just don't add an option to disable it by default already.

Start a new game? Disable it on your homeworld. Colonized a new planet? Disable it too. Another planet? Do that too!

I don't always disable auto upgrades but do always try to remember to disable them until the planets are full - otherwise they demand that much more faffing later on.
