Engine technology:
I know this topic has already been raised, but every time I play I wait for the engines to reach at least the level of the Nuclear Pulse Engine.
Maybe it would be worth raising the cost of researching the initial stages of the engines, that would extend the time they can be used, both by players and AI?

Counterpoint: I use NRE tech quite a bit in my conventional-start games. I also play with limited research admin + 50% research speed, so even developing NTE tech takes some time during which I can build quite a lot of NRE-level freighters and colony ships. So personally, I prefer things as they are since I would not want to drag out the conventional starts even longer than they already are.

Not quite do because the 0.2 automines are still somewhere, possibly taking up cargo space somewhere forever! Think of the lost efficiy! 😂

...a screen that lists all events, and has a checkmark for "does this stop time? y/n" would be ideal (although probably a lot more work than I'd expect.)

Even better if the screen lets us import/export our preferred interrupts.

Like this?

I can check, but it was more than one year ago and the longest travel time is 4 months. And still, it would not explain the 'freeze' on current AM count when producing an extra 0.2

Attach your DB if you like. I'll send my SQL Raiders to find the missing 0.2 automines.

Thanks, but it's okay. No fuss, I moved past this point. I edited the database to change the 8.8 facilities on Earth to 9, and everything is happily humming along now.

The Shore Leave Complete event does not stop auto-turns.
Usually, that is my preference.
Sometimes, though, I am waiting for a ship to complete shore leave before I give further orders.

It would be nice to be able to toggle a checkbox on the fleet orders screen to control if finishing shore leave stops auto-turns.
