can you add a setting to default this option to NO?!? its annoying as hell to have it set automatically on when building a new starbase
I'm confused as to why this is needed.
The starbase won't order a constructor unless you add things to the build queue... What benefit are you feel you are getting by shutting off the constructor orders?
The only thing that I see as a benefit would be to have the ability to turn all off or all on but, otherwise I don't see an issue with new games. Only current games that this is an issue.
They do automatically queue upgrades for themselves though, clogging up your ship yards with unwanted orders, and it is annoying as hell. There definitely should be an option to disable this feature for all of your star bases, not just on an individual basis.
They order upto 2 upgrade modules per starbase. Its defined in GC3GlobalDefines.xml, set it to 0 and you will basicly have the "effect" you want.
<MinNumberOfQueuedModulesBeforeAutoUpgrade>2</MinNumberOfQueuedModulesBeforeAutoUpgrade> <MaxNumberOfAutoUpgradeModulesToQueue>2</MaxNumberOfAutoUpgradeModulesToQueue>
Its right at the bottom of the file.
I've never once had a starbase do this.... they only upgrade when I order things. and I've played over 100 hours of 1.7 through the betas..
Which type of starbase are you having this happen with?
It happens with all types of star bases. I am playing a game that I started prior to the patch so I cannot comment on new games started in 1.7 but the massive map I am currently playing had 57 star bases and they all ordered upgrades for themselves. I went through each one individually and deselected the "automatic upgrade" option and then went through all of my ship yards and cleaned up the mess they made but I still find the occasional ship yard with a build order queued for some star base somewhere that I did not request. I am micro managing my ship yards and star bases more now than before the patch.
Maybe it is only happening on games that were in progress before the patch?
I agree with this. It needs a setting to shut off the queue. So far I find I'm spending more time fighting with the construction orders than doing anything else. It would be ok in the later game to turn it on, but really at the beginning this is just getting on my nerves telling it not to make things I don't require right now. Its not so great to remember to shut it off individually for each base. It needs a general on and general off switch.
This is a new game post patch so its not getting version confused. Its doing it with any starbase that is possible to upgrade, but the upgrades are less of a priority than other issues. I don't want to have to keep telling it to stop or rearrange the queue to my liking every other turn.
ive search for this file and its not found. where are you seeing this xml file?
