Yes waste occurs in the real world, and things like factories always have both a fixed and variable cost associated with them. The thing is, the game already has a system to model the fixed cost: maintenance. There was never any need for unused social production to use credits since the maintenance should be adequate to model the fixed costs. Now whether the current maintenance levels are high enough is another matter, and certainly open for

However, in the scope of a 1.x, it could be doable to have a "Guns" vs. "Butter" slider that determines where that factory production goes -- buildings or ships. Secondly, the labs -- research would be de-linked and would go between 0 and 100% on them as well. Unused social production would then be transferred to sh

For those planets without current social production, how about splitting their social allocation between research and military until a new social project begins? That way, nothing is wasted and as far as the overal economy goes, it doesn't look any different. That's a great idea!

I don't think people are asking for more micromanagement, they're asking for more control. They want to be able to make interesting decisions and not be limited by some arbitrary game mechanism which, quite frankly, feels more like a puzzle then a strategic option, and forces unnatural and not particularly fun types of play (like trying to time it so that all your planets build social improvements at the same time).

In GalCiv II, only social production gets wasted. At one time, social product was put back in the treasury if there were no buildings and it was a micromanagement nightmare. With all due respect, I feel that the way things are currently is more of a nightmare since you constantly have to micromanage your social production and focus in order to

Thanks for the responses. Guy-Jay, I beg to differ. Qutoing from the top of page 29 of the printed manual which came with the retail game: "If you have no projects queud, the number above the hammers will be in parenthesis. In this case, the hammers are not drawing bc from your treasury" Seems pretty explicit . I also feel that it wouldn't make any sense otherwise. Some type of official response on this would be greatly appreciated. Also,

Perplexed by some things I've observed in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, I just recently puchased GalCiv II and have noticed a few things which I don't understand and thought that I'd pose the questions here 1: I noticed that I'm paying for social production even when I'm not building anything. This seems to contradict what the manual says is supposed to happen. Is this a bug? 2: According to the manual, each megaton of food is supposed to feed 1 million people, but I'm observing c
