Re: Colony Management
Quote:
Have colonized 50 or so planets, all maxed out in facility capacity. I then research the Central Computer complex. Of course, I want to maximize my research capabilities. I jump into my excel spreadsheet, and do some math. I find out that any planet with over 6 Research Facilities would benefit from the Central Computer complex. Anything equal to or less than 6 wouldn't benefit.

Just a note to your counting. Computer complex(CC) I (10% for planet) becomes effective after approximately 11 facilities, CC II (20%) 6 facilities, CC III (30%) 4 facilities. I presume that the game adds base production and then adds all %. This means that after you have System wide CC (I don't remember the name) it is more beneficial to have more research labs before you start building CCs. Did you know this? Was just curious.

So, besides performing 3 clicks on every one of my godamned colonies, and then counting the research facilities on the planet, is there ANY other method of doing this quickly? It's a pain in the ***. Especially since there are so many one per planet facilities that provide a % bonus to certain resouces (i.e. Robotics Factory).

When I want to do this I usually use the following combination: F5, Sort by research, Click the planet, Ctrl-K, select the facility and press OK, Q, add the facility. This may seem as a slow method but I can assure you it is quite fast.
