Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Subticket of #98.
"Planning Center is a new building that can be researched that let the player
tell the system how many ships of a give type should always be available over
the whole game (fleet + storage + outposts)."
vessels in transit and outpost garrisons - the "whole game" the ticket asks
for, so a vessel is never counted twice or missed while it is flying.
Done in
0c595d7, together with #107 - a board of standing orders nothing actson is a notepad.
Researched at "Logistics Command", deliberately deep and behind vessel science:
standing orders are what you want once the fleet is large enough that tracking
it by hand has become work.
The targets are global, not per building. One plan for the whole game; a
second planning centre is another place to read and edit it rather than a
competing one. Per-building targets would let two centres hold contradictory
orders and tell the crafters to satisfy both.
The census was the harder half. Every vessel is counted exactly once wherever it
is - flying, in the hangar, stationed at an outpost, or in the air between any
two of those. The fleet is the one place GameState cannot see, so Fleet pushes
its composition on every change, alongside the cargo capacity and Energy
Propulser count that already went that way.
Vessels on order are counted separately, because they do not exist yet: the
readout says "4 of 6, 2 building" rather than claiming six. Each row also says
where the vessels actually are, since a plan can look unmet while everything it
asked for is sitting at an outpost.
