Colony Wide Production Queue

Finally, one of the latest additions (as of the writing of this article), is the addition of a colony wide Production Queue. Some time in the beta, a colony wide Research Queue was added. This allowed players to queue up multiple researches to be distributed to any open research facility on the planet. It was useful, and it reduced the number of clicks that needed to be made and allowed research to start as soon as possible, but overall it was not a vast improvement. However, the Senate recently passed that a Production Queue be created, and so it was. It uses the same interface as the Research Queue, but allows batch assigning. For instance, 10 factories can be assigned to create 20 engines each making a total of 200. In addition, this queue allows the parts of a prototype to be build without actually producing that unit or building. This seriously aids the construction of custom/armed facilities.
