Please make influence and authority spending a SOFTstop instead of a HARDstop

[KopiG]

So currently even if you are lacking just ONE point of authority or influence, you cannot spend it. I propose make it a softstop and let the player decide whether he wants to go into an authority/influence debt. This is especially pronounced now as authority can also be spent on companies strecthing this even further.
Feel free to rebalance the negative effects of these.

Also alternatively you could also code it as such that ONLY the first negative deficit is allowed, meaning if you have lets say positive authority, but then you use it on something which pushes you to a negative value, then this is allowed, but now that you are in negative, you CANNOT (HARDSTOP) spend it any further. I am also completely fine with compromise too.

If these are not feasable PLEASE make it at the very least moddable. Its really annoying to play with this artificial restriction.

if it is to be made a soft limit, then the malus for going over should be even stronger than today... otherwise it will be a nobrainer to exceed, especially for instance if you are playing tall and have no use to infamy, you will exceed the limit to reach a "balance", otherwise its wasted

You didnt read my second point:

Also I already said what you said

Feel free to rebalance the negative effects of these.

I agree. Gets really frustrating when 1 or 2% of the value you'd need completely stop you in your tracks.

But maybe they want a unified approach to capacities? It probably makes sense you can't just pump out institutions you don't have the bureaucracy for, after all.

this!

also some soft capability to gain them through limited buildings would be nice!
