First WhatIsSol, thank you for all the work you put into this 'mod' that makes the game so much better than the developers left it. The many bug fixes and the feature adds make for a much more satisfying experience.

If you are still working on version 5.9 of the UCP, I wonder if you have feature locked it, or if you would entertain a thought I've just had. Since you added the auto build queues to reduce micromanagement I've been enjoying playing on bigger maps, but I find myself moving people around a bit more than I'd like. When I get a new tech and need to build a building on all planets, I use the empire screen to move all planets to growth, and is a perfectly acceptable level of micromanagement.
When planets finish building the new buildings, I'll have two dozen planets all ask for new instructions on the same turn. I can use the auto build queues to send them all the trade goods, but then I have to go through my colony list every turn and make sure that all worlds are optimized, so my auto build queue doesn't include trade goods, which means every time a world finishes the build queue, I have to go into the colony screen and choose trade goods and then switch the population from growth to research.

I wonder how difficult it would be to set up a hotkey to set the currently open colony to trade goods and research.

For example, I open the colony screen (usually from the "choose production" prompt in the place of the 'next turn' button), I see that the world is one of the ones that has finished building everything and all I want is to switch it to research, I hit ctrl-r and then I can close the colony screen and move on.
It seems to me like a small change that will save between ten and thirty seconds per world, perhaps two dozen times per game. (on my system, it takes a little longer after I build interplanetary administration)

If I'm right that it's a simple change to make, adding ctrl-g to set a colony to growth and turn on auto build and auto cleanup would be very useful at initial colonization also. Ctrl-f for food and ctrl-p for production might also be useful to other people, though I doubt I'd use them.

If you've finished all work on MOO:CTS, then I thank you for all the effort you've bestowed on our undeserving behalf, and I wish you well in your next endeavor. But I hope you continue to enjoy this game enough that you choose to continue improving it with us.

Thanks for your time, sir.
