Factory assist

While that certainly sounds like a useful idea I could imagine an even more streamlined experience.

Instead of given an order to several factories (or to one linked to a bunch of others) we could specify "production areas". These areas act like virtual factories and can be assigned a build queue that is a) copied to all factories in the area or b) distributed among available factories. Obviously, that global queue could be overridden for each factory if deemed necessary.

I could imagine something like that for fabrication units as well. You specify an area and queue all sorts of projects and the work is assigned to idle units in that area.

A system like that could possibly even consider resource consumption and not assign work if it would cause stalling. That might be going a bit far though for some people.

I love the idea, but in deed it's going a bit far and might be a "big" change on the way to play the game. That system reminds me of games like Towns or Banished where you do not control the fabricators but instead you give orders and the fabricators will manage to do them and follow some priorities. It's another game mechanic
