    Is there a mod that allows you to see the direction of where the factory will output your units?
    Because this affects me a lot in the Naval area, where its either one way or another and i dont have the time to see the small visual ques to show where the ship will go once its built and i end up building naval factories that puts ships right onto land and creates an unfortunate jam,
    If there isn't one it would help to have a mod that could show a line or arrow where the unit is ejected, that would be awesome!

    The direction that ships/bots/vehicles leaves a factory will be the one closest to it's rally point (ie. if you change the rally point to the other side of the factory, the next unit will start pointing in that direction).

    Also, factories don't really have a dedicated direction. You can control factory orientation by dragging the mouse to rotate them when you're placing the queue, but the factories will still push out units in a seemingly random direction. Rally points really are the only way to control it.
