Usually with a beer or two to ease the pain.
That pretty much answers my question. Unfortunately.

Can you do a multi-add for upgrades? I realize it's not convenient, but it's an option, and perhaps a step above doing each planet one at a time.

Hey, you asked how we handled it... that is how I handle it.

I do not believe so, no. You also can not add facilities with the multi-add feature.

I thought the patch notes said something about adding a new feature with upgrades.

As for how I do things, I almost never intentionally hit the dang "upgrade all" button - I hate that thing. It's a pain to hit by accident, and then have to go around cancelling stupid upgrades. Of course, it's a lot more annoying in mods where upgrading is not a trivial decision - in which case that global upgrade button is a curse.

I believe that was in reference to the bug where you could build one facility, add an upgrade to the higher level, then move that upgrade to the back continually as you build more facilities. You can then upgrade all of them for the cost of just one facility.

Ah, I think you're right, thanks. That was a bad one all right.

Is it possible to upgrade a level 1 facility to level 2 after you have researched level 3?
Because everytime I go to a planet to upgrade a level 1 the only upgrade option I see its the level 3.
It appears that the level 3 overrides the level 2 or something, so the only thing I can do its to not research level 3.
