Automation

If a country was level 4 or higher then would ALL auto features will be turned off or only some? Like, education, health, transportation, investment fund management, etc...

All

Oh ok, thanks.

I have all the automations turned on. It keeps my Education at 125 and my Transportation at 150, but it refuses to train enough people for hospitals, so my Health keeps dropping even though it's supposed to be maintained at 120. Is there a way to get automation to work the education priorities correctly?

I have this problem with every country in my Empire, and I am only Game Level 2 at this point.

I turned the education and health autos off so I can manage them individually. It seems to have helped with my education index around 140 and my health index around 165. I also prioritized extra for teachers, univ teachers, nurses and doctors while keeping my total education priorities around 120. I don't think the autos are set to improve your health index, just to keep it from falling too low.

You'll have to eventually move away from full automation so maybe adjusting 'education priorities' and 'changing professions' is an ideal place to start. This would solve your Health problem. Good luck.

Originally I was doing it all manually to learn how they work, but was hoping the automations could do it so I could spend more time with Corporations. Apparently it doesn't work well.

Health was at 120 when I turned auto on, just to maintain it. Dropped to 80 in all my countries with auto on, and education priorities were all screwed up. Maybe they just aren't developed enough?

The health one seems to work fine, all it does is buy hospitals if you have enough people for them. The problem seems to be in the Education Priorities auto function.

My advice to all would be to avoid as many 'automatic' functions of the game as possible. Obviously some of the mundane buying, ordering, upgrading etc are good time savers but generally there are so many different set ups of countries that no automation could work ideally for yours. They seem more designed to just keep you from completely messing up and killing your country.
