Some buildings require a large amount of several resources, and instead of the all-or-nothing “Construction Enabled” checkbox it would be great if each required resource had a checkbox. Checked, it means “OK to continue delivery of this resource, I have lots of it” and unchecked it means “Hold off on this resource, I don’t have much and I need to reserve it for something else”. It would make building more efficient because you can get some of it done instead of shutting down the entire construction just because of 1 or 2 resources.
Ok this idea is good
I reduce the number of workers constructing the building, often to just one, takes longer but I almost always have stock in store.
I’m mostly talking about when you’re building a monument that requires 10000 or 12000 gold. When you enable construction it will drain your entire gold so soldiers and rat catchers etc. don’t get paid. The only way I’ve found to deal with this is to put 3000 or so gold in the trading post and then enable construction. When I they use up my town gold I disable construction and transfer the gold from the trading post to the town. When I can accumulate 3000 more gold in the trading post by selling stuff I enable construction and repeat the process.
Ideally instead ot a checkbox for each resource there would be a quantity box. You could specify a “deliver when town supply is over this amount”. But I don’t think that will ever happen because there aren’t many situations where it is truly useful.
