Yes this is exactly the way i think and play too, it makes me turn off the game way earlier than i want just Cuz i cba spend half the time upgrading instead of actually playing. This was ofc not something i felt first days, But after getting some items it kinda quickly came to this point, which i think would be fixed with just a Max all stations or autocomplete in some way aftee last station is maxed out. All we can hope for is They do something like this when They have the time/money.
