In order to buy slaves you have to have leave market menu open for long periods of time and then be reaaaal quick on the spacebar. Unless they're some hot garbage robots or something very bad they get bought up instantly by the AI.

A few ideas to make the slave shopping experience have fewer pain points: 1) an autobuy feature similar how you can set minimum and maximum prices when selling or buying other goods on the market. It would need to have more variables than price, I don't want ungodly robots on my beautiful space slavery temple. 2) a little cheesy but a 30 day delay could be put on the ai's ability to buy slaves. Basically they aren't available to the ai until they've been on the market for 30 days. It's inelegant but it would work. 3) A small, transparent GUI in a corner that can be left open without obstructing gameplay so I'm not just staring at a gray screen wondering if the galactic slave trade even still exists while ignoring certain galactic apocalypse.

Every night I drive around I see at least one or two cars without their taillights or even headlights on. Sometimes on surface streets sometimes on the freeway. This has been going on for the last few years, prior to that it was extremely rare. I don't get it. What has changed, why do people do this now?
