Factory assisting other Orders

Postby Lionhardt » 04 Aug 2015, 19:45

Always thought it would be great if factories could assist patrol routes. Primarily for Inti/ ASF spam...
Same thing goes for transports. If you could assist a ferry command with factories, additional transports could automatically stat assisting the ferry once they roll of the factory, which assists that ferry.

Only loosely related: Ferries as independent entities would be much more useful.

You can have transports assist factories to kind of simulate your second example. You can even have the land factory have a move order then attack move and the transports will drop the units off at the move order and the units will attack move from there.

I know. I am rather talking about automating the step where the transports themselves get assigned an order, once they roll off the factory.

Intis patrol ferries when linked to, yes. But you cannot auto assign transports to existing ferries by linking the air factory to the ferry marker.

well they probly allowing only common orders for factories. So you dont need to check what units is under construction.

Other then all should be, kinda like ques think for upgrades and engies not built from fact that are building or say going to be built...still debates think also that say was or is is transports for units rather say any of such built or not..

But try say having a factory assist one of the transport for say ferry?? Think for just loading it works and say just assist that ferry but say once loss though it basically lost..

From a fact stand point doesn't really fit and even say "further" doesn't either but still..
