Ok having played the game intensively I've found some things that I have found that I think (along with a few mates who play the game) that need to be sorted.

First, which Ive seen discussed before, an Undo button, Ive wasted so much money by accidently putting something in the wrong place.

Secondly when you build something, it is so annoying that you have to keep clicking the object to build a second one, like in the casino, to build a row of 20 slot machines takes forever, because you have to build, then select another one, then build. Why not make it so the object stays selected?

Thirdly, I like how in the casino, the people who empty slots is automated, but its so annoying when you forget to check building repair status, couldn't this be the same as slots, where mechanics go and fix a building when it reaches black, and black because then it encouarges you to check for when its yellow etc.

Fourthly, is not a flaw, but a possible expansion pack, a multiplayer option. My mates and I would love to be able to race against the clock against each other on my LAN, to try and steal the customers etc. And to stop pauses you could set like a pause limit, or just remove pause for the multiplayer.

Dispite my apparent hate for the game I do love it, its one of the genuienally brilliant games Ive played in a long time (well over than Halo, but thats not new), well done guys you did a great job.

An answer to a couple of your points....

Multi Object Placing -

You can place many of the same item by holding down the Shift key when you click. You can also clickon the small blue icon to the right of the build panel. This toggles single / multiple placing on and off. (I think it should stay on when you close the build panel, so that it is ready for next time!)

Repair Staff -

All repair staff will automatically fix broken buildings as long as they have a clear path to them. If you are having problems with them taking too long, go to you staff panel and fire any that are too slow, then rehire ones with high Speed stats. They'll get to the problem much quicker.

Hi thanks, just after I posted the message, I played around with SHift and Control etc, and saw you could do multiple item placing, and as to the other problem, I will have a look at the staff speeds...

/me feels like such an idiot,

Anyway cheers for the reply.

And get started on a multiplayer expansion ;)
