Ozzeh said:The slider position may not move again, but if new ICs are acquired then they are (partly) put in production whether you locked that slider or not. And since you will mostly keep your production slider exactly at the amount of ICs required, this means the new ICs get wasted. So you have to adjust the slider every time you acquire new ICs. Very irritating IMO, and I kind of agree with the percentage idea.
My mine problem with the current system is that occasionaly production will suddenly dip a couple points (even with the slider locked) and if have a serial run going at the bottem of the cue, goodbye gearing bonus. If I have excess supply/consumer goods/whatever, then why take away IC from production when there is some kind of IC slip.
