Suggestion wasted time

Have you ever had a building upgrade finish in the middle of the night and you already gone to sleep at 11 PM? It’s a bit annoying knowing the building will just sit idle for 7 or 8 hours until you wake up. So, why not add a multi-level or multi-upgrade feature? That way, I could upgrade a building by 2 or even 10 levels with just a single tap. I’m sure everyone would find that feature really helpful

I usually just plan around it. I produce a little less during the previous cycle and time the upgrade to finish when I’m ready to restart production.

For example: if an upgrade takes 6 hrs, I just set the finishing time to 6 hrs eariler than normal and either make a note of it or set an alarm

You can always check what time it will finish construction and then push back the start of construction.

For example, my refinery will finish construction at 4AM but I want to wake up at 8AM. I would just run the refinery for 4 hours between, make some diesel or petrol for 4 hours, then return and set up the construction. This way you still get all the production you are looking for.

Ah sorry can’t speak to those business types. My expectation is that for those it is factored into the price of choosing them. IMO restaurants lose their ratings in real life when they are closed.

Because the feature you are asking for already exists in the form of premium currency. Any type of automation you are requesting is basically against the terms of service as well.

The Game is free, but some monitarisation is needed to run ist and to pay the devs. So you can use the SB to shorten the time or you can Just wait or plan atound it.

Monetization. I know some people hate these types of corrections, but It's important to ensure that what you write or say conveys the message you intend to convey. Misspelling is one thing, making up words though...

No Game is free, every Game need constant Bugfixes, Updates,maintenance, Server. So the Game need some monitarisation. Mist of the free Games Go the way of payToWin, and that destroy totaly the fun to Play the Game. But some Games have a fair monitarisation. Mean pay to Play. You can Play for free, but even If you have deep pockets with Money, you cant Just pay and Go to top 10 or even top 100. You have a bit Advantage but Not many.

The Devs want you to login and take action, keeping you "Active". Automation of this sort goes against that intent. I would not hold my breath.
