This version on the beta has the first auto ppt'ing routine built into the game.

default it's set to quiet mode where you will see the pair, turns left and % progress indicator.

You can also turn this on standard, or turn it off completely.

I'd love to hear your opinions.

There's a million issues with the concept. We could spend all night
on them.

competition to the rest of the player base. Yay! The l33ts get l33ter,
the newbs get newblier.

Sounds like a perfect way to balance the game, right? /sarcasm.

made and nobody's really talking to the people who actually know
what they're talking about. It's like building a house and not listening
to the guys that pour your concrete. Funny, but in a sad way.

Anyone run into the new command queue limit yet? It's not just CPC
anymore, there's a fixed limit on what you can buffer. That's going to
mess with a lot of product movers and colonizers.

This isn't something I want to be working on right now. It won't be in this release, probably won't be in v3, and is only in an early prototype state. I only left it active on the beta inadvertently and it's not close to being release-ready. I'll request beta testing and feedback on it if/when I'm ready to include it as a feature.

There's a lot of things to consider with a script. It will probably be fine for non-agressive games with just a few traders.

If you build with concrete how do you expect to move the building in the next “hot air wind storm” sir.? Yes Sir, it might fall over sir, but… We have men and women already waiting, holding barrels of water and armed with machineguns sir… Yes sir They are manufactured by Derp! industries sir..

It’s better to walk into it not to run so to speak… broken no no no it’s not broken… It’s fixed… that way no one can play it and everyone’s the happier.
