max administrator problems
« on: September 07, 2021, 09:36:02 PM »

When I was under 50 population I was able to have 5 administrators.  (with colony management skill)
 Next bonus was supposed to be at 50,
  The message I received when I hit 50 read "3 bonus administrators next bonus at 80 population"

But, it seems I'm maxed out at 6 admins, plus the 3 I can administrate myself. It's impossible to hit 80 population without use of AI cores/administrators, what puzzles me the most is why did it say that I got 3 bonus admins but I'm still stuck at 6 total? or is that 3 (2+1) from base and +1 +1 +1 from population tiers bonuses?

3 colonies under my management + 6 admins = 9,  9 x 6 max population = 54..  I don't really want to go the AI core route but, I think having more systems, or -- all the systems under my control eventually would be a "end game" type goal, I don't see the point in stopping people from doing that as, quite frankly it's not imbalanced, I'm already unable to spend my money.

Total domination should be a thing, we don't have enough end-game things.

Edit: I suppose I could make some colonies semi-autonomous, but that seems lame too. I want to be England in Space.

No idea about the math behind it, but you could just increase the number of admins in the settings.
It's one of the first things I did. Using AI cores for everything seems far more unbalanced and pretty silly considering the backstory.

lol, it was in settings.json  -- well at least the base admin number was.
