So, is Planet Automation good in 4.0?

[Barron of Gondor]

Haven't played much of 4.0. I've heard there's a bunch of bugs. But the couple of games I've played seems to be working fine.

I am curious if the Automate planet construction button translated into 4.0, or if something broke

Its about on par with AI.

Make of that what you will.

Well right now I'm on par with AI... Tho, I don't I don't think that will last for long. lol

It is improving with every patch.

It hasn't been touched in a single patch FYI.

I think the joke was that it's on par with the AI, and the AI is improving, so automation should be improving, right?

Well considering that Eldarin just pointed out and I have confirmed a bug that the AI turns itself off. Improving may be a generous term here.

To be honest the only AI improvement is that is has a much larger fleet cap now but that is entirely because they gave them both double soldier job efficiency and double global fleet multiplier on GA. I am 99% that is not intended and they just haven't gone and fixed it properly. Particularly because the AI rocking 4k fleet cap is a large part of late game lag.

Bugs? 'Ya think?!

Seriously though, I weep for broken (again) planet automation

As far as I can tell it does not function at all. I tried it my last campaign and it built nothing. Even with gobs of resources to use and jobs filled it built 0 buildings.

Activating automation makes planets select zone specializations automatically - I don't like this
Activating Prevent Deficit Spending still works as intended
Activating Amenities autommation does nothing
Activating Deviancy automation does nothing

...considering those are the major things I use automation on I stopped using it for now
