Eliminate competitions forever / sorting strains for breeding

[veil]

Hi!

Question 1: Is there any way to eliminate competitions forever? I manage three cities, having huge profit per months. Also I often use fast forward time option and during this this time period competitions break my equipments and strains. I spend too much time to fight against them, I want to care about my researches and strain mixings, etc. So maybe I'd pay for a policeman, or employee to keep them away from me or stg., but I have no idea what could I do.

Question 2: Is there any possible solution to choose newly added/crafted strains quicker (or directly from "Strains book") for breeding/mixing? Everytime I craft a new strain, I have to click 100 times, than move it from the end of the queue to the front in the bottom strain bar. It's very frustrsting when you have more than 70 strains and do this one by one. Maybe a drag and drop option from strains book would be handy. Or is there any option for this?

P.s: I love the game, it's very addictive! Thank you devs for this gem! :)

1) No.
2) Yea there could be a search option. I agree that it is annoying when you have many plants.

While I totally agree that the UI for strains needs a serious rework, just a few tips.

You can uncheck unused strains from the [ show in stock ], there are probably a lot of them you'll never use, unless it's for a new breed. Once unchecked from there, you can still find it in the general "library" where you can search by effects or taste, so check them back in if needed for breeding, as unchecked ones will not be usable on the mixing machine.

Also, if you can free your mouse wheel, and have it free spinning instead of the cranted position, do it, as you can advance through the stock strains by scrolling.... much faster than clicking.

I like to restrict the bottom bar to only those strains I'm actively growing and selling, and have everything else unchecked. That way you have maybe...4 or 5 strains, and it makes breeding and taking care of orders a lot more convenient.

when you reach lvl 7 there is an option to permanently remove competition from the market, via a tool unlocked in the "skills area", you can convince politicians to do something i cant remember the name of atm.
