Yeaaa, that would be cool to have.

But in FA you can see how unit is being build, and you are often able to destroy it, and that makes it hard to code a mobile factory.
the main issue that for some reason all those units that made on mobile units are handled as buildings or something...
for example you can't build under czar if it is making planes at that moment, same with all other mobile factories, and i think just like megalith they all can reclaim stuff on the field if wreckage is positioned under unit that you want to make... kinda weird

Interesting. It sounds like perhaps the game is replacing the unit on the fly depending on what it is doing. Do we know how strat subs and the Seraphim BS are able to build and move?

Mobile factories - unit management and building while moving

2015-07-20T19:16:03+02:00

One of the very, very few things that Supreme Commander 2 improved on was the functionality of mobile factories that store produced units. All mobile factories in the second game can produce units while moving and stack units stored within by type, allowing you to quickly select groups of units for deployment.

Is this possible in FAF? If so, is there any chance we'll see it? Both of these features are quality-of-life changes that wouldn't make carriers stronger but would make them more functional.
