Aeon players can't tell which side of the factory their engineers are facing because the front and the back of the engineer look identical.
This is bad because it makes it more difficult for beginners to learn the right timing of setting your rally point from the left side of the factory to the right side of the factory and vice versa.
What do I mean by "right timing"? If you set it too early, the previous unit will have to turn around and lock the factory for some seconds. If you set it too late, the engineer will have to turn itself, thus also locking the factory for some seconds. The right timing is during the roll-off of the previous unit and before the construction of the engineer.

- (this is the front of the engineer, lol)

WHY THE SOLUTION WILL HELP:
1) It provides immediate feedback while the engineer is still being built, which speeds up learning.
2) If you mess up finding the right timing, the engineer can leave the factory through the "wrong" side instead of locking it for some seconds, which is consistent with other factions and thus more intuitive for new players.
