[quote who="a0152570" reply="3" id="3627889"] Quoting zingo77, reply 2 From stream Paul mentioned- the auto system will choose the best shipyard for a given starbase that can deliver the constructor in the most less time possible. So it would seem you should add all ship yard

Reply to [1.7 opt-in] Planet economy in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Two things are going on: The focus settings on the planet screen modify the spending for just that world. So you've set the research to be 100% empire wide which leaves nothing for manfacturing. Setting the manufacturing focus shifts the balance so there's production for manufacturing. When you shift the overall spending to all research, you are getting a pretty hefty coercion penalty. By choosing a manufacturing focus, you are making the spendin

In this case, the upgrade is really a "down grade" so its probably not an "exploit" ;) But its definitely a bug. Thanks for the report.

[quote who="Spectacle" reply="10" id="3627627"] This is a huge improvement in starbase management. Good job! There is however one UI annoyance remaining, the "Idle Shipyard" prompt that prevents you from clicking "next turn". With this new system I would like to leave my Shipyards idle some of the time and waiting to produce constructors as they are requested by starbases. I don't want to have to shut down the shipyard manually and then resume it later wh

1.7 Patch Change Log (Release 4/21) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

The long awaited Starbase update is here! The new Constructor queuing system means you'll never need to track upgrade modules again. We've also completely reworked the Shipyard ship list to make it easier to find the right ship for the right job. Also, we've added the ability to inspect an enemy fleet and get prediction of the fight's outcome. The ship component system is getting balancing change. Finally, we've improved the d

[quote who="LongDeadFingers" reply="38" id="3627118"] Has the way engines and sensors stack been changed in 1.7? So the crazy ranges are no longer possible. e.g. ships that can move 100 parsecs and kill off all the ai's in a turn? I haven't wanted to play again until that is changed.

Reply to Memory Windows 7 vs. Windows 10 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Seilore, Recently (1.6 or 1.61 I don't recall which) improved memory usage in a way that would be most noticeable on "extreme" maps. This improvement would only apply to newly created games. Other than that, we haven't done any W10 specific optimizations. EDIT: the memory fix was related to number of factions, not map size. So a medium map with lots of factions would see a benefit as well.
