i don't think it's a bug so i'm not going to post that in tech forum.
let's say you start ras. (and you have a T2 com)
you gonna want to pause the commander (because it drain too much e) and assist it with T1 engie, In order to consume all your e production, without power stalling.
the only little matter, is that to allow engie to assist the commander, you need to un-pause your commander.
So it result into :
start ras, pause commander.
assist with engies, un-pause commander, pause commander.
look at your e balance, realise you can put 1 more engie.
assist the engie, un-pause commander, pause commander.....
would be great to allow engie to assist (and invest ressource into the upgrade) a pause commander.
would make eco balance easier, without making it (shit) automatic with mods.
