Autobuild is only buying what you can Effort with Starting Gold. If you chose an Turret which you cant effort, you only get the lower Turret which you can Effort
There´s a Bug in the Augment System, when you start an Augment, the Gold is subtract, when you reload the game the Augment Process is stopt but the Gold is still gone.
Did this only happen in the event workshop? Please create a bug report the next time it happens and please add the time (ideally GMT), so that I can check the server logs.
You also need to have some of the required product in your storage to unlock a medal. You can see the unlocked medals in the upper right of the event workshop. The green color indicates your current medal. Please create a bug report, when you still think something is wrong.
What about an Keybinding to buy as much Upgades as needed to get 0/Cylce? So if you have -142/Cycle, Alt + Click upgrades not 10 or 50 Times rather 142 Times. Same on downgrade.
Thanks for the suggestion. This was requested a few times already, but it isn't that easy, because of all the dependencies. I will take another look at it, but I can't promise anything.
Thanks for the suggestions, yes some automatism can improve the game playability.
