i'm a new backer and i sincerely apologize if this has been mentioned already but i could not find a topic specifically about this so i decided to post anyway. Why on earth are the building hotkeys not mutually exclusive from other hotkeys????? A system like the one implemented in starcraft and other RTS games where pressing B opens up a build menu BEFORE the building hotkeys are accessed makes infinitely more sense then a system like this where hotkeys overlap. At present, it is incredibly frustrating to try and create a set of hotkeys for buildings that even make any sense at all, as trying to set M for metal extractor or B for bot factory or even A for air factory all overlap with fairly important commands. Is there a specific reason that this has not been fixed??
Mostly because of this AWESOME mod called HotBuild 2. It basically does all the hotkey shenanigans for you. I also think it made the devs put off fixing their issues with making hotkeys work - lazy suckers. LINK: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-hotbuild2-v1-9-9-9-4-62037.54561/
by the way, if I am to download hotbiuld 2, do I have to clear all the keys in the general menu, so they wont conflict, or does the hotbiuld automatically invalidate any conflictions to make the key in hot build the one that works.
