Hey again everyone, this is another thought that came to mind, and I don't know if I'm just missing it.
I like to modify my governing to get an ideal configuration for my planets, and with the fine detail I'm allowed, I'd like a few options that I'm not sure exist (keeping in mind I've only played lightly, and only recently as of this post due to the stardock sale). First, I'd like to set some planets as 'exempt' from global spending reset, and when I reset global spending, I would like a popup saying that these planets have been exempted and a dialogue to override.
I use global governing settings to respond to empire wide situations, a need for more manufacturing or trying to rush research, but some of my planets are designed to be specialists such that I do not want them to be beholden to those changes I make. However, more than that...
I would like to see, on-hand, on the same page as the governing tab, a reference table for research and manufacturing. I.e. I am outputting 600 technology and 580 manufacturing, I would like to know how much research it would take to learn something, I would like to be able to see how much manufacturing it would take to build my most updated factory variant, so that I know about how many turns it would take an average colony to build one, how much research exactly I'm striving for.
I think this kind of granular detail will match well with the exacting control - though I wonder if this amount of power shouldn't take time and cost resources due to social upbheaval, as it is extremely powerful to be able to refocus all of your empire on a dime.
