Three legacy has implemented automation. It basically screwed my $1 and $10 accounts. Before I was able to adjust anything it triggered a building and claims and depleted my funds. It did that on all 3 accounts but my main account has tokens and could take the hit. I was saving up to birth another alien which I needed on the $1 account and also the $10 account .Now I can't birth any aliens on those accounts and at the rate of earning it will take months before I am able to.
I was a little confused because I kept the default settings to prioritize birth and everything else set to slow. The only thing I changed was to do quests faster.
My large account was mostly not affected because I have tokens.
I think automation is good for the longevity of the game , I just wish we had exact notice of roll out and a delay so we could plan, set the settings, etc.
Those two accounts are basically stuck and unable to birth after I saved my earnings for a couple of months. If either of these were my primary account that would be really bad. Since they are alts it doesn't bother me too much but does really suck.
With the drift I may never be able to birth an alien on either of those accounts again as I won't be logging in to check on them often because there's not really a point. At least no point I can see. There's no new content or anything to really do.
Update- Info I learned after this post. I have a temp fix Joesph told me about. If you buy training tokens with THREE it can essentially work as a savings account (though that is coming to the game but will be a while). Training tokens specifically right now because there is no use case and the automation can't spend them. Once there's enough the tokens can be converted to three then can be spend on birth. this is a very round about way but it will work for now.At least I can protect my remaining funds.
Anyway, overall automation is good. For new players it will just be how things are and no surprise roll out that depletes balances.
Idea for a solution- Since we can buy tokens for building, claiming etc with THREE it would be great if we could also buy birthing tokens with three and allow us to partially buy them/lock up the three until we can afford one. This way we can save toward births, otherwise I see no way out of this that doesn't involve spending more money.
Update- there is plan to have a savings/loan thing in a future game update.
My big account had plenty of resources so no real difference there except the system built a building I had no intentions of building. No real loss though
