It's not the same but I use slave factories and when I need to reclaim I can have all the slaves rallying to different spots.

Yeah that's a good idea. never really thought of it

These sound possible, i dont know for certain that UI-mods can access what a factory is building ( i suspect they can). If they can, this should be doable.
If you know a bit of lua you can try to customize UI-party/selection deprioritizer since they already can do similar stuff.

yes i was thinking about deprioritizer too. maybe it's possible to make it so that you can manually set the priority of a facto in game.

It is not quite this, but there is a hotkey for "delete all units except the current one" in a factory.

sorry my sentence is really bad. I know about the hotkey (still not available in normal game afaik, only in beta)

for exemple : i want to upgrade a T1 facto to HQ. I press this "delete all units except the current one" hotkey (so that i don't stop the production of my last mantis), then i queue up my T2 upgrade and some T2 unit. But this doesn't remove the mantis being made from the "infinite loop" of the queue. Meaning that if i don't come back after my mantis is finished to my facto, the mantis will be build at the T2 stage...
not sure if that's easily understandable.

Just giving some idea there.

Is it possible to have 2 rally point from a factory ? (like in starcraft) : 1 for engie and second one for other units.

Is it possible to make change the priority of some factory ? For exemple a factory spaming engie would not be selected if you double click over a t1 facto spaming units. And maybe shift + double click over a t1 facto would still select all factory. If i double on a factory spaming engie i would be able to select all facto spaming only engie...

Last thing : can we make an unit go out of the repeat loop ? Ie i want to upgrade a factory but don t want to cancel the actual unit being build. So i would it to not be build again afterward.
