Not sore if anyone else thinks this but it is pain to set all the extractors on all my planets so what i was thinking was if you could multi select all the extractors that are lifting the same resource and set them all at the same time rather than one at a time. what do you think?

It is meant to be a pain. You can choose between easy maintenance and maximum output. If you want maximum output, you need to babysit your facilities and invest time doing so. Also makes it harder for macros.

Correction; it encourages macros.
Requiring several more clicks DOES NOT MAKE IT HARDER FOR MACROS. I could sit down for half an hour or so and make one to cycle all my extractors if I chose to. It really is just that easy. And it would probably save me from contracting RSI.

Supported.
Either get rid of multiple deposit choices and let extractors auto-cycle, or allow us to issue mass-orders to all extractors simultaneously. __________________________________________________ Survivor of Teskanen, fan of John Rourke. |

I Have 5 planets and 10 or so extractors on ea one. its a pain in the ass to do it and i know other people that feel the same way. It would be much easier to multi select them all and set them at the sane time so id definitely support your idea. big thumbs up to it

Ill go one further in terms of CSM dsicussion on this matter:
PI needs:
select all route all link all extract all choose cycle all install all
plus ctrl click/shift click options to select multiples.
I believe the outcome of not addressing these changes will be rampant devaluation of ISK, and in terms of keeping players or encouraging new players rampant ISK devaluation is not good.

Mindless repetitive clicking is tedious, boring and ultimately counter productive as the limiting factor. It will just attract macros that squeeze out real players.
Eve is fundamentally a strategy game, not some mindless twitch fest. Therefore the difficulty and challenge in PI should be in devising successful strategies of production and competing with other players and not some torturous ordeal by mouse.
I support attention/action on this issue, however I'm not keen on grouping.
I think a more dynamic approach that relies and thinking and less on mundane repetitive clicking.
I think the best option would be to change the way extractors work and make them much more like processors. They are started and they automatically continue. Players attend them, review and tune them on an on going but ad-hoc basis. They start at the best extraction rate, but over time their extraction rate deteriorates. This would be in line with the current extraction cycles rates. So for example: They start at the top rate for 30 mins, drop to the second rate for 5 hours, then the 23 hour rate and finally the 96 hour rate. A player can attend to them and resurvey at the top rate but that is entirely optional.
Technically this should be quite easy to implement, especially compared to UI changes needed for grouping.
At a later stage the ability to vary the production up or down by running missions, a little like with Research Points and entirely optional, but necessary for the most efficient production.
e.g.
Foreman: "The machinery is worn out. We need mechanical parts to fix it and get it back to 100% efficiency" Extractor efficiency reduced by 10% until until supplied.
Foreman: "The workers are unhappy at being on this forgotten forsake rock and production is suffering (-10% etc). If you supply "Tabacco|Spirit|Dancing Girls" I'm sure their moral will improve.
Have some 'missions' that fix reduced efficiency and some that boost efficiency.
Foreman: "The machinery is badly designed. We can modify it with X units of robotics and get it upto 110% efficiency"
Foreman: If you can offer the working an incentive bonus (Consumer Electronics for the rec room) I sure I can get efficiency up to 110%.
etc.

To switch on the extractors manually:we have cloak, we have warp drives, we live in space and must switch lots of extractors on manuelly - i think eve will lower the niveau to WOW.
My opinion is: an option to switch all extractors on per planet...

I definitely support this. I have 5 planets extracting, and typically near 15 extractors per planet. I also have a second account doing the same thing. It takes me around 20 minutes per character to reset all my extractors.
I could see the ability to go to Planet Mode and choose to reset all extractors either of a specific type, or on the planet as a whole to the same cycle times in one set of clicks.
My reasoning is that this is supposed to be a passive income, and when it takes me either 40 minutes every 5 hours, or 40 minutes every 23 hours, that is 40 minutes I am not being able to run missions, mine asteroids, interact with my manufacturing, or shoot people in the face, assuming I did that.
I don't want this to be, set it, and walk away for 3 weeks and it is still running. I, and my corp mates, would like to be able to reset with many many less clicks.

I would like a puppy. Seriously. 40 minutes every 23 hours is passive. You're not even the norm since you do it on 2 accounts with l0 Planets and you think 40 Minutes work is too much? Get a grip on reality mate.

Yes - reduction in clicks once set up would make a big difference to my RSI

Supported. Sixty or more clicks per planet doesn't add to difficulty or interactivity, doesn't urge you to log in more often, doesn't do anything to stop botting or macros, and certainly doesn't add fun.

Supported - Its pain enough to check in every 30min if you want maximum efficiency, no need to drag around clicking on extractors for another 5 when you do. ---
