Ministers
From PlanetsWiki
[edit] Overview
The Ministers are a portion of the Planets Client that help to alleviate micromanagement of your empire. The menu can be found under HQ from the toolbar and then press the Ministers button.
A Minister will normally affect all applicable objects of the appropriate type unless the Ministers functionality is turned off for that object. A small M button is located on the ship and base screens (apparently wings were overlooked) that will enable or disable the ability for Ministers to affect that object. Turning the M off (by changing it to a red X) will make it so that any Minister function will not apply its changes to that object. The status of the Minister button will be saved until changed. There is a Minister function to affect the status of the Minister button.
The current list of actions that can be performed on objects follows:
[edit] Contraband
[edit] Sell Contraband On Low Crime Bases
This will set all bases with less than x crime to sell all contraband that they have. It does not observe the limit on the ability to sell a limited amount of contraband based on the number of colonists at the base. Thus, the sell order will not always be successful.
- This button is not available to The Cyborg Collective and The United Enforcement Authority
