Save Research order for reuse?

#1 Post by fran »

This would make the biggest difference of me being able to get started with new games:
* Reload a saved list of research topics

I spend too long setting this up at the beginning every game currently...sure you adapt the list based on the situation you find yourself in, however the basic order remains roughly the same.

This would me it much more enjoyable to dive into new games & get straight to the interesting exploration :)

That is the main problem that needs solving, and there's people working on it (though very slowly since it's on volunteer time).

Your request has been made many times, and we're not to actually solve the main problem soon, so maybe it could be granted as a stop-gap measure if someone has the time and the knowledge to do so.

i second the motion - point me to an issue ticket and i'll try to give it a shot at implementing that feature. which i've really been missing too, but not as much as the next missing feature which would be saveable production queues to allow to schedule multiple items for production with a single (double) click

stpa, should I open a similar one for save/load production queues?

I am a big supporter of this request.

I would just add, if we can save them, please allow us to name them so we can save a few different ones.

Not meaning to add more pressure :D
