Improved LessClicks

Reduce Micromanagement, Maximize Efficiency!

Tired of constantly pausing the game to queue up railways, power plants, and government administrations across dozens of states? Improved LessClicks is here to save your sanity.

This mod introduces a highly intelligent, on-demand automated construction system. With a single click of a button, the mod scans your entire empire and automatically queues up the exact number of essential infrastructure buildings where they are needed most.

• One-Click Automation: Trigger automated construction tools directly from the Construction Queue with dedicated UI buttons. No more clicking through every single state.
• Smart Railway Construction: Automatically calculates Infrastructure deficits and queues the exact number of railways needed. It checks your current railway technologies and avoids wasteful overbuilding.
• Transportation Shortage Fix: Adds railways specifically to reduce Transportation shortages in incorporated states, with profitability and engine-shortage checks to avoid bad builds.
• Intelligent Power Plants: Detects local electricity shortages and high prices, then builds only the number of power plants needed based on your current technology. It also checks for labor availability and avoids stacking duplicate builds in the same state.
• Automated Government Administrations: Detects Tax Capacity deficits and builds the exact number of Government Administration levels needed, factoring in your current bureaucracy technologies and laws.
• Safe Government Administration Downsizing: A new dedicated button can remove excess Government Administration levels. It only trims safe surplus, keeps your country above a bureaucracy buffer, avoids pushing states into Tax Capacity problems, and removes at most one level per state per click.
• Quick Queue Cleanup: Clear the first 30 entries in the Construction Queue with a single button instead of cancelling them one by one.
• Fast Queue Navigation: New jump buttons let you move 10 pages backward or forward in the government construction queue instantly.

Unlike simpler auto-build mods that blindly spam buildings, Improved LessClicks uses performance-friendly and safety-focused logic:

• Exact Need Calculation: Uses ceiling math to calculate how many building levels are actually needed instead of overshooting.
• Technology-Aware Automation: Railway, electricity, taxation-capacity, and bureaucracy-related calculations adapt to your researched technologies and active laws.
• Shortage & Profitability Checks: Railway construction can be blocked by local Engine shortages, Transportation expansion checks profitability, and Power Plants require workable local conditions before building.
• State & Country Limits: Smart per-state and country-wide caps prevent construction queue explosions and keep the automation under control.
• Safe Downsizing Rules: Government Administration removal is conservative: it preserves a bureaucracy reserve, requires a healthy tax-capacity surplus in the state, and only removes a limited amount at a time.
• UI Quality-of-Life Focus: The mod is built around reducing repetitive queue management, not replacing player decision-making with reckless automation.

Late-game lag is the enemy. This mod is heavily optimized:

• Scans only incorporated states, skipping irrelevant colonies and decentralized regions.
• Triggers only when you press the button, meaning absolutely zero background AI decision spam or monthly tick lag.

• Save-game compatible? Yes. Add or remove it at any time.
• Highly compatible with other mods, as it uses clean, standalone event namespaces and custom UI buttons.
