    Question a repeat same search button

    i hate reordering 13 + explorers on treasure/adventure search, could there be a button that they do the same order as last time, it would be allot easier.

    Do you mean on the window where you decide what sort of search , Adv, treasure, expedition, discover sectors
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    Same window as send army.
    1. what you would like - find marble
    2. select geologists for example six and rdy
    (little pictures can help with their spelializations)

    1. what would like - Prolong search
    2. Select explorers - send all and rdy
    (little pictures can help with their spelializations)

    The concept is a good one. I've thought myself that it would be nice to have each specialist have a "default" that with one click they do whatever that default is. Then once you set up your 'plan' it's much easier to do.

    But in the scope of things I would think this would be rather low on the list. I use the specialist name to remind me who is what and it's really just an extra click or two so it's not something I'm really hurting over.
    Sorry, but I've slept since then...

    For me that's a minor issue, it's just 2 clicks more, but i can imagine this being more convenient if you have a lot of them

    +1 would love to have this.

    Select all the geos or explorers you want, then select what they have to go do, would save SO many useless clicks!

    Repeat All Searches Button

    I now have 29 explorers. Every time I want to send one on a search I PRESS the explorer portrait, then PRESS the search I want (treasure, adventure, etc), then PRESS the type of search (long, artefact, etc), then PRESS confirm.

    That's almost 120 clicks every day just to send them out again, and if we are talking about Artefact searches, that's some 2 or 3 searches a day. Even more clicking. It's boring. Very boring. So, how about a «Repeat All Searches» button?

    I kind of like the idea but I think 1) it's almost getting close to automating the game which I wouldn't agree with and 2) I see a lot of overhead or extra screens or something that would keep track of how you searched last time. Thinking about the number of players * number of explorers this could add up to quite a bit of storage.

    I agree it's tedious but that's the way a micro-manage game like Settlers works.

    Just a window like send generals to adventure, with send button.
    Differences:
    - Same order by, like in star menu (we remember, and get used)
    - There is selector button what task would you like
    - Maybe a multi select option same type (shift+click or something like that)

    Don't need store anything, with this changes much less click and not so automatic. You need to watch what are u doing

    Would be nice to confirm explorer emails with a key instead of mouse click. It's realy annoying to accept them all every day :/
