So,

I've just started another round of our favourite space game, i'm currently in turn 23 and i noticed the same message over and over for at least 5 turns now. The message that i should empty my treasury before we get behind in the rat race. I'm sure that this is good advice for the people with multiplayer on their minds, to show a most efficient spending profile but that is really not my way. I'm more of an easy live person without the lame attitude that easy suggests.
Are there mods or tricks with the settings that change that?
and what i also would like to know is the location of the option auto upgrade mines/bases etc ( its been a while )
