    The new notification system has given me a few ideas that would be great to improve gameplay. For me at least.

    -Using a button to interact with last notification instead of the need to click it.
    -Also make this; 1 press select, 2 press snap camera to. Would be good for queuing units in factories without the need to go to it.
    -When certain units are built you can set up auto build queues? Like nuke finish, tehn it automagically builds the nuke without you needed to do it yourself.

    When you finished just call it clopses notification mod :D and i will give you 2 uber uber likes :D

    There isn't a notification key? Urgh, yeah, definitely need that. Make it space.

    Got something very basic working already.
    When notification pops up and you press a key you go to the notification location.

    Here you go > if you load the community defaults in settings > hotbuild tab then space = go to notification when it happens.
    Offcourse you can change the keybinding in settings > keys > scroll to hotbuild title > below there is a key for View Notification.

    I thought this thread was looking to make geniuses out of modders.
    Admittedly, an IQ pill would be much appreciated.

    Uh... you can queue units in factories like that already. .. shift+F1 to shiftF4 all select different kinds of factories.

    Yeah I know this but is too slow for my liking and it selects all factories of that type, not just newly built one. No major problem right now but when more units are added hopefully we won't be selecting all factories and pressing just ants. Or if you want to build a few fabbers first from a proxy base you don't want to queue up fabbers in all your factories .

    Oh right yes. It is beyond frustrating when you hit the notification and issue orders to the unit you already had selected rather than the factory.
