    Being the unit AI is a tad jankey (industry term) and they frequently get hung up on getting around things, could we get some sort of obvious indicator or control over where units will be output/group up after production? Placing factories and utilizing geographic defenses almost always creates a labyrinth that the unit AI has trouble negotiating, and having units spat out in different directions defiantly adds to the problem.

    If you select the factory you can give it orders as you would a unit. When units are produced they will follow these orders.

    Yup, you can queue up a complicated move path for factories to use just like in SupCom.

    Was not aware of that. I would still like to see the ability to rotate the production facilities when placing them, sometimes the building's offload ramps are placed at a 90° diference to the buildings you have already set up. Is there already control over that?

    Yes. Hold the mouse button down when placing a building and move the mouse around to rotate it.

    Yeah be careful with building placement in your bases, leave factory ramps clear and some gaps for units to walk through your base.
