thoughts on the production wheel

the production wheel

i like it it seems like a really powerful tool for management so i have some ideas to make it more, some have been posted before by others but i thought id gather them all up in one place.

1) a 0% wealth production line; a dotted line where wealth is equal to 0

• with the pointer above the line you have a surplus economy
• with the pointer on the line you have a balanced economy
• with the pointer below the line you run a defecit

2) quick buttons (balance, wealth, research and production)

• clicking on one of the three icons around the production wheel will change your focus to 100% to the clicked icon, a fourth icon possibly some balance scales will cause the wheel to reset to 33%, 33%, 33%

3) button locks / insert-able percentages

• the ability to lock a particular production type at a certain percentage ( i want wealth at 20% i lock it in place and can now adjust research and production between 0%-80%
• the ability to type in a percentage on any of the production fields and have it adjust the others to compensate

4) Multiple civilization government production wheels

• the ability to create a number of different production focus's that way you can assign a planet to any one of them and adjust them as a group; such as all research planets, all production planets, all culture planets.
