How to auto build?

[Bram]

So I have put down some plans to build buildings, roads etc.

Sometimes when I press "build with rubles" on roads they build all open roads.

But a lot of the time it wont and i have to click every frikking single road. How to auto build everything?

There are 3 ways to auto-build roads/pipes/pretty much anything but buildings:

- If you check the "Build with [currency]" checkbox towards the top of the menu box thing, that'll auto-build as soon as you release the mouse.

- If you leave that box unchecked, the game will go in 'planning mode'; roads will light up a bright white, and when you make your choice [start construction, build with (currency)] that choice applies to all planned items of that type [all roads if you do it for a road, all pipes if you do it for a pipe, etc]

- The hard way, which is go 'start construction' from Planning Mode, at which point you have to open each one individually and hit the 'build with [currency]' button.

(Editing to put it here since Ach snuck in between my posts: For buildings, there is no 'planning mode'. If 'build with [currency] is unchecked, when you place a building it's identical to if you hit 'start construction' right away )

2 ways to do so

1) Check the tickmark in the building menu "build with rubels" or "build with dollar". Then everything will be build right away when you place it or build the road.
2) if you do not have the above mentioned option active then you can still plan your roads. They appear white while you are still in planing. After you are finished with your plan there are 3 buttons in the bottom of the construction window. The most left is to build for materials. The 2 other are to build the entire plan with rubels or with dollar.

Once you accepted a plan to be build from materials there is no other way to auto-build these parts than to click thru all of them seperatly and use the auto-build button there.

Hope this helps

Damn, that sucks. I really hoped i could select everything and just auto build it. Maybe they should take away building cost when paused. Again a really fiddely thing with this game..
