The sub-pulse length is likely the setting you want. Every sub-pulse, detection is checked and the game can stop if there's a break due to an event. So if you click a 5-day increment with a 5-minute sub-pulse, it'll check for stuff every 5 minutes during that five-day period, and stop if it needs to stop. It'll take longer to run, of course, but it's likely what you want.

Also, don't forget the auto-turns button.

Although this specific setting won't work, as Aurora will ignore a sub-pulse choice if it would result in more than 100 sub pulses, and instead uses the default values (which for 5 days is -- I think -- 3 hours).

Though Steve did mention in the bugs thread possibly removing the limit; I don't know if he's done so.

If the alien race is set to neutral then their contacts won't cause interrupts.  Setting it to hostile should do the trick (this doesn't have any diplomatic effect except that you will automatically shoot down their missiles).

Ah, this is what I was looking for.  Thank you!

I will try this!

If there’s no way to configure this, that’s cool.  But it would be nice to know one way or another.  Auto-turning one hour increments with the mouse hovering over the stop button gets old. . .

Hello,

As the topic suggests, I want to know how to configure auto turns so that they halt as soon as an alien contact is seen.  I have a gnat of an alien popping up every couple of years and until I can discover his homeworld and help him melt find his place in the universe, I'd like to melt greet him properly.  But he's gone before I can get the auto turns to stop. . .
