Smart automatic build queues |
Is there a way to set an automated build queue to always build the latest ship of that type?
Ex. Presently, I have a planet set to build med fighters, I would choose the specific one. It will keep building the specific one as specified continuously.
What I would like is to be able to specify the generic type "medium fighter" and it will always produce the latest design I've created under that generic type "medium fighter". This will save me from having to run though all the production queues once I redesign a ship. This would be applicable to all ships (since I upgrade often to include the latest technology).
Is there a way to do this? I greatly appreciate it.
Re: Smart automatic build queues
There's an "Upgrade Queues" button in the design screen, I think that's intended to allow you to adjust all queues in one place - but I don't think I've ever used it. That should help do what you want. I'm fairly sure the queues can't update themselves as you ask...

That "Upgrade Queues" button will do it, but remember it won't upgrade a ship already being constructed OR A NUMBER of these. e.g. if you choose 5 ships to be built (by incrementing the # to be built to 5 not just adding 5 seperate ships of the same type), then the Upgrade Queues button doesn't help you. What you may want to consider is queueing a number of TURNS of fighters (e.g. fighter costs 200, planet can build with 2000 resources per turn) therefore queue up a load of batches of 20 fighters to be buiolt, that way when you upgrade queues the almost all of them qill upgrade (except the 'batch' currently being built).
Hope that helps

Not that I'm aware of, would definitely be easier if it was from Dauntless Mk I to Dauntless Mk II but even then I'm not sure how you'd do it.
