Thanks for the report!
I’ll look into the hammer logic I haven’t seen any recent reports about this issue, so I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. The upgrade process taking longer due to per-element upgrades also isn’t documented clearly, so I’ll review that as well.
Regarding your questions
Raidable Bases
I’m not sure why RB wouldn’t be supported. Could you explain the specific issue you’re experiencing with it? That’ll help me narrow things down and provide a proper fix.
Instant Base Upgrading
Yes, you can upgrade bases instantly. Just set UpgradeDelay to 0.0 in the config file. The default value is 0.5 seconds per block, but with instant upgrades enabled, all blocks upgrade immediately.
I understand your frustration, and I’ll work on resolving these points.
