Suggestion: Can the "Auto-Select sector choice when:" option for "Only 1" be improved to "Only 1/Same"? So for example, if my choices are to pick either sectors 3 & 4 and will receive two credits for both, or to pick sector 7 which will also net me two credits, it seems silly to hang the game up waiting for me to pick one or the other of two functionally identical choices.

Again, this isn't really a bug, but a feature request, and seems like a relatively simple one in the grand scheme of things. (Although I certainly may be wrong about that.) What's the official procedure for getting improvements like this implemented? Thanks.

Note that the developer hasn't made any changes after the game went Beta some months ago.

Also, just use "Better" instead of "Only 1".

Thanks. For whatever reason, the suggestion page isn't working for me right now.

And I'd consider using 'Better', but in the "Better" forum thread there was a comment that mentioned that that might not always be the best move. (Even though i'd imagine it would be 99% of the time. Maybe I will give that a try. I'm not advanced enough of a player to understand the subtleties of the game just yet. Thanks again.

In my experience I wouldn't worry about "better" choosing anything you wouldn't. It is ultra-conservative - which it should be when in doubt, but there are a lot of cases where it asks you to choose where I feel like I shouldn't have to.

For example, earlier today I was given a choice which amounted to 2 coins versus 3 coins. I think it gave me the choice because I also had cubes I could use to change the total, which is fair enough (even though using the cubes would also have resulted in 3 coins so there was no point using them - in theory this could have been determined but I am a developer myself and am conscious that this might be tricky to do automatically in general), but it doesn't seem too hard to just ask me to choose between 3 coins and using the cubes.
