Is there any way to set this as the default? I hate having to enable it for every factory, especially when I forget and end up with a factory that stops producing.
I think this is another in a long line of things we have on our list of stuff to do eventually (e.g. have an option to set your own default).
This would be a good settings option to have, as after the first few minutes this is usually the only build order you have your factories set on. All I can recommend is setting an easily accessible key to 'change build order' so when you build each factory and set the rally point, you just hit this keybind too.
Oh boy this always makes me remember good old C&C, you wanted 5 units ? you were gonna do 5 clicks. A queue ? whats that ? you Mr. Commander may wait until a unit is done producing, and then click again to order the next one, enduring a "unit ready" soundbyte for each one. Then I think Tiberian Sun "revolutionized" it by having a build queue... OF MAX 5 units ! the horror. Honestly please take a moment to appreciate the automation options you have in this game I even find it hard to go back to Supcom now, without area commands you have to click ALL the mexes, one by one, madness ! I bound the tab key to toggle continuous build, just one more key to press when setting up a new factory, I do agree that pretty much every factory gets set to continuous, being able to set that as a default would make sense.
This is actually in the unit json, and I believe this is a client side parameter. Meaning, go to each factory's json, change continuous to on at your own fancy, and it works simple as that. To make it more user friendly, sure, make a mod that lets you set them from a new options menu tab. Each factory has continuous on or off, and a default unit to queue if continuous on by default. That would be pretty badass, setting vehicle factories to automatically build with 2 ants 1 inferno and 1 spinner by default. Annoying early if you want to scout, very apm reducing later when you build rows of factories and they all do what you want from default. Also, FACTORIES THAT SET THEIR INFINITE QUEUE IDENTICAL TO ANOTHER FACTORY WHEN IT "ASSISTS" THE OTHER FACTORY! FACTORY ASSIST FACTORY, FACTORY ASSIST FACTORY SOON PLZ!!! lol.
This would be so delicious. Your first factory building scouts just needs the slightest adjustment, or some scouts CTRL+Clicked into the queue, and then you don't have to worry about jumping back and forth as you build rows of factories.
