Seconded.

Just build an algorithm that follows the following logic.

Project

If upgrades to existing Improvements available >=1

Then stop when finished

Else Repeat

Else if Available planet improvement spaces >=1

Then stop when fishished

Else Repeat

Then the AI wouldn't get hung up repeating them forever.   People would not start them early and then forget to upgrade..  and at the end of the game when there is nothing else to do they will just repeat.

A better method would be to select a project and press "U" multiple times, until an option to repeat projects is implemented.

Many thanks Rhonin,

I hadn't realised that you could use the U key and while it's still a slight pain it's immensely better than scrolling and double clicking endlessly though possibly not totally wonderful for the keyboard.

Cheers,

Im fine with it as an option that is not on by default, but if it was the default like it was. That had me unnessarily scrolling through a lot of planets for most of my game, because i would turn it on when most of my planets were fully upgraded by my tech level. Remember my empire go through stages in the beginning almost always dont have a lot of resources. The problem with governors is that i dont use them. I prefer to play the game. So either when i research a new tech, or get new resources i either, cant stop producing projects, doesnt really matter what im doing at this point i never produce projects 1 per turn, so some planets may be ready to stop producing next turn, or more likely than not i have to wait turns that are not the same from planet to planet which i having to scroll through all the planets each turn for a few turns. Lets see a bunch of clicks which you dont even have to go through the list it wont let you finish your turn untill your done, or have to do the above every time you get a resource, or research one of several techs, or settle for a gimped empire. Your talking about late game. Im talking for most of my game. Again this would work as an option that you would have to turn on.

That was hell (for me at least).

I'm for an option, but Taslios' suggestion is also good.

+1 for Taslios suggestion.

can I just  add that I would like the same repeat options for shipyard missions..

I don't care if its back to the way it was, repeat, or better logic. But I would also suggest a checkbox to IGNORE idle production. If the list is empty don't nag me every turn. Maybe I don't want to add anything.

There is only an ignore idle check box for shipyards, and not planets.

To many people don't want to see that come back. A compromise would be to make that an option. This actually causes undeveloped planets, or serious micromanagement, or a lot of wasted manufacturing.

I just created a post about this.  I somehow did not see this one.  I agree wholeheartedly that something should be done.  I am ok with most of the suggestions but when I get to this state, the game becomes almost unplayable.  It is so frustrating that I just quit and start a new game.  Quite annoying.  But it should be reasonable to not ask you for something to build if nothing is available to build but the issue might be that there are things available but you may not want them so doing this might be harder than you think.  I would vote for both a "don't bother me if nothing is in the queue" like shipyards and a repeat for aid if you want to use it.  But I will agree with the plea to StarDock to consider adding this.  It would seem to be a fairly simple addition.

Please bring back endless projects indeed.

The project will run forever until you remove it.
