Please Please Please! Give us and upgrade all buildings button!

Khem, actually there is already mod for auto upgrading. Just need minerals. To activate or deactivate you will have edict.

2 mods will solve all your problems.

Autoupgrade mod that lets you set edicts to upgrade buildings, buildings witb influence cost, autoenslave people on food or minerals AND for the very lazy autobuild (i dont recommend the last).

So basically you place the buildings and pay close attention to developing BUT when mid game comes and you have a war to win and you dont need to build ships you activate the edict and it does everything for you.

If you need ships then queue them and activate.

If you placed your buildings in a nice ratio you will have a good amount of resources even after the uprgrades (given you dont have lvl 4 energy but only lvl 2 mining or vice versa but thats your fault really)

The other mod is core sector planets 50/100.

With these 2 mods i can easily manage 50+ planets and i know for a fact i placed each building myself and my economy should be perfect without all the boring micro.

The only things the mod needs is a treshold of resources above which it upgrades so you can leave it on at all times and still have enough for personal use.

Actually, that same mod for auto-upgrading also offers sector limit to 1000, it is also in the form of an edict.

till now there is a Auto Upgrade Mod in Steam Workshop that works ok. For Core Planets.

Doesn't it only need to work for core planets? One for sectors would be redundant.

Yeah you are right it was the last update. i just saw it today haha 1 less mod for me <3 i always love it when people merge mods together.

Yeah, I love that too.
Now if only Paradox would somehow implement some of the essential mods into the game, it would be awesome. It really saves you thousands of clicks.

 

[RgZera]

From my perspective id prefer paradox to take all the mods that add functionality and simply integrate them. And if its sth that not everyone would want then they still integrate but put a box there and you can decide if you use it or not. I dont think options ever hurt

I understand what you're after, but adding an 'upgrade all' button has some issues that don't necessarily have clear-cut answers. Here are a few examples;

- In what order should the planet upgrade all the buildings? Bet you'll be cross if it upgrades all the mines when you need energy, or power plants when the planet is starving.
- What does the button do if you currently cannot afford all the energy/minerals/influence necessary to 'upgrade all' existing buildings on a planet to maximum?
- What does the button do if you don't have all the techs necessary?
- Should the first planet you press this button on be the one that becomes your Empire capitol (you can only have one in your empire)
- How does it cope if it cannot build the 'highest' level building (since it's not the capitol, and the highest tier mines/farms/etc are reserved for that world only)?
- Should it ever queue buildings that require strategic resources?

* good question about order. Maybe having a "upgrade all similar" would be good enough? When in doubt, from lowest tier to highest.
* good questin. Maybe some sort of "auto queue when the queue when teh queue runs empty"?
* if there is nothing to upgrade, there is nothing to upgrade. If that is due to tech of Capitol limits does not mater
* Empire-Captal complex is now properly limited to the original Capitol only (1.1.0 changelog)
* see 2 above
* Naturally. Since you already have placed those buildigns manually, they already consume the resource. Upgrading them does not increase that cost, only the yield.

I'm interested on this mod/edict. Will it expire at the ten-year mark like the others?

Nope, custom Edicts do not need a timeout.
Rally points uses that for example.

However any mod that adds or modifies edcits will naturally break Ironman/Archievements. So a native option would still be nice.

Was about to make a post when I found this one.... This needs to happen, sometimes I just put the game down because of that, it gets annoying fast.... I usually have 7-9 colonies per game, and all have at least 18 boxes. Upgrading automatically would be a life changer.

 

[Kolibiri]

No one liked the clicks in Victoria. Why didn't they learn?

 

[OdinTGE]

I am not finding this mod people keep talking about that has the auto-upgrade edict. Please halp.

Found it. "Auto improve buildings ENG/RUS/FRA"

I was looking for something involving "upgrade"...

 

[Snall]

There's a VERY easy solution to this (I think) - have a button on each building slot/site on a planet that is an auto-upgrade checkmark - when checked the building will upgrade as soon as it can. If you're doing this order probably doesn't matter but you could have a 1/2/3 for types of buildings that upgrade first (Like power/minerals/research).
