Reduce CPU shard allocation cooldown

[craggy robin]

Currently, changing the amount of CPU allocated between shards has a 12 hour cooldown. I understand there has to be a limit to how often this can be changed, but this cooldown seems unreasonably long, especially for users without the CPU unlock who are already trying to squeeze as much out of their CPU as possible.

Is there a reason this cooldown is so long? Can it be reduced to 1 hour?

I think the limit is sensible from a business perspective. As a business they need to sell CPU to be able to keep the lights on and pay their dev team. The limit is a soft-push to help encourage people to purchase those upgrades.

what? you cant get more CPU, once you have it, you have it ALL, buying more is not an option. and this question is not about getting more, its about repurposing what you have

CPU unlocks are a thing. While it’s true that some people have it All, that’s not the rule, but the exception. Also you can repurpose what you have and assign set amounts to each shard of your choosing.

If they reduced that cooldown then it would inadvertently affect potential future sales.

if you dont have CPU unlocks, you simply wont re-allocate your CPU. no one is building multi-shard empire on 20 CPU which is available without subscriptions...

[radiant jasper]

Then what purpose is there to have a lower cooldown? Is someone splitting up 20 CPU across multiple shards?

[merry wasp]

it wont. once again, cpu unlock gives more CPU, allocating your CPU moves what you have. these 2 features dont intersect at all

[radiant jasper]

Oh..

[merry wasp]

no, people with CPU unlocks want to allocate what they have...
