    This may have been posted already or already a confirmed to be in the final game but I just wanted to make sure. I hope the game will soon have a button to help me find inactive engineers. When battles get intense it gets a little hard to locate my commander and engineers.

    Beta has been fun so far!

    I agree. Perhaps a yellow and black strategic icon on those units would help as well. Enemy ones can remain as their own team colour but your fabricators and commander will stand out if they were highlighted by a different colour at the strategic level.

    I think there already is a button that selects idle fabbers.

    Edit: try f

    Hmmm. I'll give that a try now. Still a Supreme Commander type button would be handy :)

    There's a keyboard shortcut for it... can't remember what it is.

    Look at the keyboard shortcuts in the settings.

    I'm sure a button will be added down the line.

    The "f" shortcut selects all idle fabbers. Personally I'd also like to have the option to cycle through the single idle fabbers with a hotkey; I'm quite used to that from playing SCFA and SupCom2, and it's a rather useful feature in my opinion.

    It's been suggested and one of the devs have said it will likely be a thing. I'm having a hard time finding links of late because the forums have exploded since Beta release. So you'll have to take my word on it!
