So i have a simple idea that would make ACPs far less painful with out giving any advantages. Instead of a one size fits all ACP, why not have different ACPs that take like 20, 25,30 ect turns to build. Lets say i want to build a building that normally takes 20 turns via HQs, instead of waiting 50 turns to make an ACP, why not make a 20 turn ACP that then can only be deployed in to a build that takes 20 or less turns to build normally.
Thoughts?

There used to be an ACP Item for every single type of factory all with their own turn times and costs if we wanted. It made the dropdowns enormous for no good reason though. It was changes to be one simple item. We do have another ACP for shipyard and base,.
I could lower the time so they are all almost 20 turns to construct and then make the ACP 30 turns or something.

That could work if no one has any major objections to it. I have no problem with the base build times as they sit, it just all ways irked me that something that takes 20 turns was taking 50.

I always saw that as the difference though, you're building it to be deployed somewhere. You're Crating, Shipping, and setting up everything. Idk it made sense to me. Up to Dread, but I saw it as appropriate.

Yeah... except if you want to build you Walmart on Venus. Kinda hard to find contractors out there.

Aye you make a good point. I reckon in the grand picture it aint so bad. Just feels wired spending the better part of 9 hours making one item. Perhaps another building besides the HQ could be made that can make ACPs?

Also, perhaps having another building besides the HQ that can make ACPs would alleviate something that I consider worse: farming ACPs on Alts (a practice which should be banned) - on the other hand it could actually make the issue exponentially worse if now those same alts are making 2x as many ACPs for their main... no easy solution.
In that case, just keep the ACP system as it is now I suppose.

To be fair - ACPs are only a problem (because there is a shortage of them) right now in the first few weeks of the game. In a month ACPs will be trivial, as the industrial bases will be established and operating at full capacity.

I like the idea of being able to have another build make them besides just the HQ.
