Units designs and factories.

[Wisler]

Right now if you click the design of a unit that your factories are producing, your factories will cease producing this unit.

My suggestion is when you click the design of the unit you are producing your factories do not stop producing. Also if you change the design of the selected unit your factories all reset to producing that unit.

The amount set to produce could remain the same as the previous unit that you have redesigned(most people set to continuous production anyway i think).

This would just be more conveinient IMO.

very convenient! it always disturbs me when i must click on my factory's and choose the unit i just have updated in the designs menu. this will remove micromanagement...

I second the simple brilliance of this idea. It always bothered me.

This would be a VERY NICE addition to production.

I would prefer if you change the design mid production, it continues to produce the unit it was making with the old design, and any new production that was qued uses the new design.

I encounter this problem most often as I progress up the MG tree.
Currently what I do, is always make a new design (not that hard to select the body and propul again), and quickly lower the ques on all my factories of the old design, so they just finish producing what they had already started, and right click to set the new design order to 9 - this is on high oil, where production time is critical.

On low oil, I cancel the old designs and make new ones, I don't want to waste power making any more obsolete designs (like HMGs when I have assault guns)

I've been playing a week and this bugs me already, i welcome any change that improves the integrity of the game and this is definatly one of them.
