You can keep backups and simply copy the old .m file back into the folder that you use for play.

Find your stars.ini file, open it and under the [Misc] section add:
Backups=100
Or whatever number you prefer.

Also add:
NewReports=1
This gives a more detailed report when you dump your planet information to text file. Useful when exchanging info or importing your data into excel ...

Anyone wanna host for me at least a few turns battle to see if my Key i got works and to make sure i know what im doing so i can jump in the next game that starts. i guess its only worth helping me if you have time to spare. Im ready so let me know when?

P.S Single player Enemies seem week and dumb even on the hardest difficulty. Can anyone tell me in order which ones are the hardest to the easiest. Or at least tell me the top two hardest because Im tired of playing against comp that just sends out like 200 colony ships and colonizes the whole map.

What do you mean with "accurate"?

A good intro an be found in the Stars! help, use the "Find"-option (button to the right) with the phrase:
* "Adding Auto-Build Items to the Queue"
afterwards you may want to check out the link "more about production".

i mean does it auto build factories and mines to your up most advantage or is it just better to do it your self.. maybe auto build is just there so theres less management needed but doesnt benefit you as much as manually..

That's the hardest AI indeed, the only one that'll somehow try to defend itself and also need some serious fleets to be conquered, if only because it tends to grow big empires. Whip

If you can beat 3 of them in a Large Universe (with AI Alliances allowed), then I guess you're ready for multiplayer. Twisted Evil

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

Autobuild builds as many facs and mines as possible, leaving any partly-built items for the next turn to finish. In that regard it's no different from manual orders that are tailored to be always in the green. Deal

Bear in mind that it's not a magic tool. If your own manual orders fail to maximize production, Autobuild *might* improve things, but that's not guaranteed. Whip

That said, most people find that "Autobuild 500 Facs" then "Autobuild 500 Mines" is a convenient setting for most planets and even make it their Default.

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

The largest advantage of autobuilds is if you don't have the minerals to build those 500 factories it will move to building the 500 mines that are in behind it. If you had put those in as manual orders your production would have stopped when you ran out of minerals for factories, pushing the resources to research instead of the mines.

yes. I was just wondering if they were indeed precise calculations. I guess they are so that solves that doubt. To get hard AI's i colonize my planets get the mines and factories.. then hit F9 like 60 times so they at least have missiles lol they use lasers for like 50 or more turns sometimes..
