Please Please repeat Treasure Hunts

from GalCiv3 Forums

Stardock,

Very simple enhancement that would mean the world to me (and I'm sure others would agree).

I have spent hours of my life bringing up Idle shipyards and repeatedly clicking "Treasure Hunters" over and over again.   May we please put Treasure Hunters on auto-repeat, the same way you do Recruit Citizen on planets?    It is a micro nightmare, and I can see no way it would have a deleterious effect if you added auto-repeat for that.

IMHO, nothing should auto-repeat without there being an option to turn it off (and preferably have it off by default).

Couldn't the repeat button in the shipyard menu be enabled for these types of missions? That way you could have it on a per-shipyard basis as opposed to a global (universal?) default.

It would probably be nice to just have more than one Treasure Hunt (and all other Missions) queueable.

That way, you can repeat it as many times as you want, and when the queue is finished, it pops back up as Idle.

I just know I have a few mega shipyards and a bunch of riff-raff shipyards.  I don't want the decay.  It's the riff-raff that are a micro nightmare.  People are sponsoring faraway shipyards and taking the decay simply because of all the micro.  Just auto-repeat the riff-raff and produce a stream of income.

If you can have multiple instances of a Mission in a shipyard queue, this fixes the problem without having to worry about an auto-repeat feature (and it's warts).  Queue up 5 Treasure Hunts, and maybe in 40-60 turns you have to do it again.

Problem solved.

More like queue up 5 treasure hunts, and in 5 turns have to do it again.

Agree with this. If Stardock choose to make something repeatable with one mouseclick, it should default as nonrepeatable until that mouseclick is made.

Maybe this could be a game setup option - making Missions, as you get them through Research, autorepeat or not. But how long do we want the game setup to take? There's plenty of options to think about as things stand...Do we really want things to get to the point where it takes twenty minutes to set up your next Galactic Civilizations III game?!

Agree if we have auto repeat that there should be an option to have this off by default.
