Cant turn off autobuild

Post by WuOne »

Land Autobuild and Air Autobuild is off, but minister keep on adding units to production.
I scrap unit production and in 1 minute its again full.
Naval and missile production seems to be ok so far.

Be sure that you don't have anything in your queue that is set on continuous. I just tested it, working fine for me.

Its building completely different units from what I build, nothing is set to continuous.
Its building units I dont need at all, random types etc... Just like autobuild.
Playing as Russia, 2020GC scenario.
Not adding any units in queue (Building 22 of 22, Pending 0 for land units)
In few minutes pending 14
For air units Building 20 of 20, Pending 0
In few minutes Pending 9
Everytime I clear the queue its the same thing over and over again.

You have the minister priority set for Arms Race with includes "Modernize Military Units". Your minister is scrapping old stuff and queuing new units to replace them.

Turn off the priority if you don't want him doing that.

Nice, so the arms race priority keeps your army size the same but replaces old units with new ones?

You mean weaker units with stronger units, right? :D

Nice, also noted minister wasn't that effective in scrapping units before, usually he was scrapping till war begins. Now he scraps even in war times non stop.
Thanks. But shouldnt autobuild setting override minister priority sinse he is locked from building new units?

It's debatable, but priorities default off so usually function outside the locks. I think the current implementation works best. He's not actually "locked from building", you just have the autobuild off. He's not using the autobuild, he's queuing stuff manually like an AI region would.

Hey, I have a problem with the defense minister where he keeps building new land units even though I locked him from military spending. And no, I did not set his priority on the arms and the continuous auto-build is off. From what I can see nothing is wrong. So the only thing that comes to mind is a bug of some sort. The thing is this problem only appeared a few days ago and I've been having the game for almost a year now and this problem only appeared a few days ago. So is it a bug? If yeah, what can I do to fix it? Thanks :)

Likely you have units in production that are set to "continuous". As one finishes, another of the same is added to the queue.

No, I don't . I clearly checked for that. I looked at all the land units - because it only puts land units into production - that the minister ques and then puts into production and they all have the autobuild on "off". So this is not the issue.

OK< I just wanna say that the problem seems to have been fixed. I don't know exactly how. What I did do though was clicking on autobuild and setting it on on and then I set it on off again. Maybe the game was reading it as on even though it said off, I don't know. But the problem seemed to have been fixed. Thanks for your reply :)
