Unfortunately, doesn't seem to work perfectly in 4.0. For example, the automated build branch office according to best ROI/Cost/Income sorting doesn't work, it only shows 0's and 999999 as the estimated metric, thus, it just auto builds branches on a randomly sorted list of colonies. Mine chose a pathetic brand new world automatically and well.... not happy about that.

It's just beyond me how this is not part of the base game...

This is such a huge quality of life improvement for megacorp players. It worked pretty well prior to 4.0 but this update broke a lot of things, including this mod. It no longer displays the correct values for things unfortunately.

After things calm down and Paradox has stabilized the game for version 4, it would be really cool if the mod author could update this mod, and I thank you for making this mod. It makes setting up branch offices so much easier than in the base game.

4.0 ?

update

Does this still work?

hi there
really liked the app so far - but does not seem to work with v3.14 (3.14.15) anymore :-/ tried with other mods but also vanilla with only this mod -> same effect: no way to open it via the expansion planner nor the edicts (I can't find any button/edict for the mod)

Works for 3.12.x but builds automatically whatever it wants :D

Imagine if they made the auto builder as good as this, actually letting you pick what to build and under what conditions.

The Simple Chinese localisation does not work because of conflicts in the code.So could you please remove the Simple Chinese localisation in the mod?

I can't wait to try this out, this is what Paradox should be doing. I can't believe how difficult they make MegaCorp play. Which part of it interferes with Achievements?

I love this mod, I hope you can update it!

This one work on 3.10?

update pls

update pls

updated for 3.8
fixed building buildings

Agreed on the update, this is such mandatory mod for megacorp playthroughs.

Update?

How is the fix looking?

I have a few ideas:

1. Something similar for Holdings on subjeect empires
2. A way to plan independently for each empire. Branch Office. Basically, I can establish a branch office on a small world, and pre-plan all 4 buildings. Each time a new building can be built on that planet, it will build it. Maybe even a way to save multiple templates. So, I could desing one that makes lots of energy, and put it on 2 worlds. Another one makes lots of minerals, and I place it on 1...

just some ideas! Great mod btw!

Thanks! Would be awesome!

:( I will try to fix it asap

The BEST mod! It sadly broke with the newest update. It takes the Minerals to build Branch office Buildings but does not build them.

This mod is great! However does anyone know if it breaks on 3.7?

Cause the developers want you to suffer, by performing all the unnecessary clicking and wasting time.

why is this not ironman compatible

finally updated for 3.6 !

Also fixed the bug, that with gateways the cost goes infinitely high. Maybe there are still edge cases, plz tell me :)

It's a great mod tbh, at least last time I tried it did buy off automatically some branches, seems at a point the price go to infinity on the menu but still achievable if you make a branch manually. Might be related to distance.

ok, Thanks for the Info. I will look into it, but the modding changes seem big, I don't know, if I can save it.

Is the mod dead?
I tried it just now, the idea is great!
Unfortunately, some branches showed up costing tens of thousands energy credits and several thousands of influence.
When trying Autobuild feature, it started building unnamed structures with a sprite of '+', which wouldn't construct at all.
So, right now it's not functioning at all.

@Jimmy Thank you, I will investigate

This sounds like a godsend to an Impericorp. Thank you!

@The Illusion nice, thanks :)

Patched UIOD to work with this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833486002

@ragatokk I just uploaded a fix (hopefully). It is a little bit strange, that only the buildings of gospel of the masses have a different behaivor, but well... It should work now.
Thank you for bringing it up!

@ragatokk Ok, that is not good, i will look into it.

I set up 3 of the building slots on automation at the start of my game.
Later I changed to Gospel of the masses, and now when I try to pick the 4th building on automation the game crashes.
I am running criminal heritage and gospel of the masses.

I'm amazed something like this is not part of the base game.

nevermind tested it with commands and i see that it does :) will have to do a full scumbag build soon

does this work with a criminal syndicate ?

@Omega It is possible, but a lot of work. I will see, when I can get to it.

I run a modpack that increases branch office slots to 8. Would it be possible to have a patch that plans out all 8 slots?

OMG, the best mod for megacorps

based

Cool! And thanks very much for the mod, I was very sad when Branch Candidate Tracker was discontinued, and this looks to have a much better UI too.

@AlienFromBeyond That is true. I plan to show a lot of additional information, but much of it depends on intel. What you currently see you always can see, if you can open a branch office. For more infos you can quick jump to the planet. But I will add more data for sure :)

It might be useful if it showed the number of pops on the planet so you know how many corporate holdings you can construct on them and how close they are to upgrading and allowing more to be built, or just showing the number of corporate holding slots directly. A planet with slightly less trade value but an extra open slot compared to another planet is almost always better due to the powerful benefits of holdings.
