CPU Unlock lols...

[PH4T3 <*.*>]

Had a CPU unlock I bought a while back in case I found a day I wanted to try to use it, perhaps a high CPU use day due to expansions or something. Now I guess somehow this is my fault, but I had thought if I used that combined with my existing Steam key, I could uncap my CPU a bit for 24/hours. However, come to find out, they do not work on the main server at all, except as a replacement to allow them to play for one day on that server without a copy of the game. Thus ... wasted the CPU unlock and also found that .. 20 is all you can ever have ... it kind of makes me dread the later GPL unlocks a bit. Had hoped I had ways to buy time when I hit my caps to try to work things out, but such a thing doesn't exist. So you better keep things in check early, cause once you hit that cap, seems the only way to reduce it would be to reduce your total amount of creeps among all of your Rooms. I guess I wish I had known in advance this information I guess, so hope it helps someone else.

20 is the max in shard3, other shards 0-2 have as much cpu as your GCL allows

Yeah it just seems weird it lets you consume up a CPU unlock when it knows in advance that it literally does nothing for you. I suggest a single line of code to block such a transaction when the submit segment of the script is run. Cause since they cost real world money, this is very much like putting money into a broken vending machine is all. Even a warning sign would be nice before the transaction letting you know, hey, this is literally going to do nothing for you, are you SURE you want to do it anyway? Cause, its a money sink as it is now, and if you want to donate to the devs, they have plenty of graphics and skins for you to buy, so I'm just hoping they fix this to keep others from letting it happen.

Well it kinda does, you can walk from shard 3 to 2 via a portal in the highway rooms, but you'd want to activate cpu prior to that for execution to begin on shard 2 for the creeps arrival.
