Could you explain this? The way I see it, economy = income-per-second. If your income at time zero is (t0)=10, and you upgrade 1 mex every second resulting in (t1)=14, (t2)=18,..., upgrading twice as fast would result in (t1)=18, (t2)=26. In the second case, the first derivative is +8/sec compared to +4/sec in the former. The rate at which you upgrade mexes is the first derivative of your income-per-second. Are you considering economy = total mass produced instead?

I'm not sure how i feel about this, it is a tedious task, but it's also time you can't spend on the front, making it a strategic choice when to do it.

If you have the apm to micro engies in a way to have an optimal number of assisting engies on each upgrading mex, an you only upgrade one mex at a time, you will have a huge advantage. The rate of ugprading your mexes is two time derivatives(acceleration) away from your actual economy, so the effect is huge assuming you are comparing players that don't stall and crash their ecoes all the time.

If I all I want to do is have my tanks micro in loops I'm not really making decisions, I'm just clicking in a circles. But would you agree that an autododge mod is just translating my thoughts and totally fine? Don't get me wrong, once I get used to this I'm sure I'll like it, but let's not get the wrong idea here - there's only one direction to these kinds of changes.

I would argue in that case you are still taking some control from the player however negligible

didn't test the feature, but what i heard it would make thing easier.

Just here to say that reducing un-grateful task is good. But the people saying "Why not just get an AI to play the game for you!?" are part true too. We always need to be careful, so we don't remove interesting micro. Because some micro require some skill that are interesting. (I'm not saying this change isn't good).
