Concur. Who among us has not inadvertently made that click of the mouse that made us groan?

10,000 would be good

I don't save up and buy...but when you work with resources amounts I do when you need to build 135,000 lunar it's pretty annoying to have to keep redoing it. I'm not the only one either.

We could replace the auto-limiter with some sort of calculator that shows how much you're spending for this purchase, or possibly an "are you sure about purchasing X bladeblahs for X metal, X crystal, and X deuterium?" message that requires confirmation - meaning a flat rate of one annoyance per buy rather than the annoyance of multiple clicks to get what you need to build.

^ I think I like that option more than a set number. probably not needed in the small numbers though (say, under 100 or 1000)

The 5k limit is indeed vexatious. I like Atauzeromind's idea if it's triggered by some threshold to avoid annoyance when building small amounts.

WHY not have it a changeable option under 'player options '
Therefore each player can set it according to their needs anywhere between two values, say :1~50k ?
Thereby catering to everyones needs instead of forcing a strict cap on everyone

The limit is there not only as a failsafe option. It also prevents instant building of massive fleet/defense in 1 click. There are many structures/ships that require 0 time to be built instantly.
