It's really annoying to have to turn these on every 5 turns.


Can they be made to work more like the fleet guard button (where they stay active until shut off).

No, because probe is separerate from Behemoth. You may launch a probe then move Behemoth out of the Node. There might also be multiple planets where you could send your probe, and this whould imply game has to "remember" where probes should be launched to automatically reapply.

Assuming you are talking about probes from multiple probe modules and not an exploit, that I hope will eventually be fixed, then yes, that's the way.

I'm talking about the probes you launch from the Mining Behemoth's to harvest planet resources; not the "scouting" prob modules.

Koxsos and Sublustris advice work for mining probes, which are in design too flexible to make them function automatically I guess.

I am actually interested, do you guys use them at all? I find them very niche and only usable as Hissho because they start with a behemoth or UC because they need specific luxuries for upgrades. I mean you can't mine in an occupied system... All systems are occupied by the point you need one of this kind... Or am I missing smth?

Hissho in particular can really hit it off with the +50% fidsi on ALL home planets. (and there is also the part in which you can stack 5 probes on a single planet by clicking fast enough)
Say you drop a mining probe like that on a +20 gas giant, all your home planets now have +10, you can get about 40 pop on that, and you can get a lot of probes! :-D
Once your probes last about 40 turns, you just get them all over, then fly home, switch to % bonus, resereach all techs in one turn aaaaand you good. =D
