With the first option, will assisting the factory decrease the delay?

A naive sim-side solution, is to just make a unit that has 0 mass/e cost but some fixed buildtime to give it 1 minute in the factory tier you want, the unit would either be scripted to self destruct or you would otherwise hook it away.

"The Right Way" would be to mess with construction.lua in the UI layer, and allow it to manage the queue in a more advanced manner.

The latter option would take a while considering the current state of that file (We're working on making it more maintainable), but the first option would be a quick fix.

On a scale of already done to this is going to take a while, how much effort is required for it?

This is an excellent idea.

I was wondering if a mod exists to allow you to place an item in the build queue. This item does nothing other than delay your build order (maybe one minute per item). I would like to use it for delaying the building of certain units (perhaps having a factory building scouts with a delay between each scout).
