1) Could you add [0], [-5(or10)], [+5] and [Max] buttons to the ship count buttons when sending ships out to raid or conquer? I like to wait till I have 200 dreads before I start conquering the galaxy, using 4 fleets of 50. This gets EXTREMETLY click intensive to do atm since you have to reduce the count one at a time. To do 4 fleets of 50, I have to click the -1 button 300 times. If not, could you default the count to 0 instead of Max?
2) From what I can tell, all the furniture at the dairy check the lactation rate of the slave when they START at that unit and uses that rate from then on. This is fine at the all but the Advanced Milking Machine, since the slave has to leave the unit to sleep, so any increase in lactation rate will be updated the next time they start at the unit again. But the slaves at the Advanced Milking Machines do not need to sleep, so they always use the lactation rate the have when they start using the unit. The Advanced Milking Machine sets the lactation rate to 100% for any slave using it, but this set AFTER they start using the unit. So any slave that has a 0% lactation rate will not produce anything at an Advanced Milking Machine unless you view that slave from the View Slaves screen (or possibly by double clicking on them, haven't tried that).
This drove me nuts for the longest time trying to figure this out. To reproduce what I mean, start a game, build a single Advanced Milking Machine and buy a slave from anywhere but the Pasture and assign them to the dairy. You'll have no income (wait as long as you like). When you get tired of waiting, go to the View Slaves screen and view that slave, then exit the View Slaves screen. You'll now have income from the Advanced Milking Machine.
This is not a problem if you only assign slaves bought from The Pasture to the Advanced Milking Machine, but if you assign one from any other source, You'll have to view them to get them lactating at 100%. This become very impractical when you have hundreds of slaves.
Could you add an additional check for the lactation rate for the Advanced Milking Machine after the slave's lactation rate gets set by the machine?
