Auto Design Ender

Description
Automatically ends the design phase when a software project reaches maximum design. Should work with all types of projects that have a design phase. Never see that flashing red Develop button ever again!

Works by checking your projects a few times a second to see if any of them are completely designed. This method may or may not cause performance issues with many projects and slow hardware, but it works fine for me. If you have a better implementation, the source code is here:

I had to hide as incompatible as the Steam version was still using threads, which is clogging up error reports.

Main game i don't understand why they do it, when you normally go on. daahh, foe black out in the middle and forget what they did?

Worked perfectly until causing several crashes of the game ... It's with regret that I deactivate it. I hope for a future patch

Yeah, this mod is still experiencing some issues, it works well, then a job or the software you're creating disapears but repears if you leave to main menu and go back, amazing mod but has it's small issues that needs fixing

Great idea! Works well for a number of jobs then crashes the game. It seems with a few tweaks this mod just might become a must have for many players.

I'd love this, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. :(
Luckily the loss in quality after hitting max design "feature" will be removed in the next patch.

I like the idea, but I keep getting random issues: Sometimes a task completely vanishes from the list at the end of the design phase. saving/reloading will make it visible again (i found one that was 18 months overdue!) Using the current version of game and mod as of 2019-05-27

@Coredumping thanks for the help! Updating every frame seems excessive, so I changed the timer to a Unity coroutine.

This mod can crash the game due to race conditions, as it affects UI elements from a background thread. I would suggest you run your update in the UI thread provided by Unity using the Update() method. See: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html
