I found it to be a big deal. I tried to work out some reason why my research planet had to shut down so my production planet could go to work, and I just couldn't imagine how that would be necessary (assuming enough funds to run both). It took me out of the game - I wasn't managing an economy, I was manipulating arbitrary numbers. These weren't "factories" anymore, they were point generating boxes. The game is playable of course, and the rules work great

Just curious if this was ever fixed... I had the same issue when I first played the game ages ago. This sliders issue completely broke my sense of immersion. I'm thinking of buying it on steam, but there would be no point if this is still broken.

Hey there, I'm an old player who liked this game but I became extremely frustrated with a particular feature/bug... If you set your slider to 100% production, you would use your factories to their fullest.. if you set it to 100% research, you would use your labs to the fullest, but if you set it anywhere in between you would only be using your buildings at a fraction of their capacity. I believe this caused a bunch of 100% factories, or 100% labs strategies to be effective,
