Ok, everyone.... what is the final word on automation? I've seen throught many posts that some people really like it, and others don't think it works properly.
What is the final verdict?
I'm not sure myself, since they seem to stop building terraforming improvements after a certain period even if there are still some squares left to be improved. I'm still experimenting with this, but I'd like to hear what you think.

I find automation of formers useful if I do not want to spend a lot of time micromanaging former activities. I can do a better job, but it adds greatly to the time of each turn, especially when I have 200+ formers in action.
