With both component and backpack building from raw resources we need a build planner.

Even with the current intro story building it is far too easy to loose track of how many resources we need - even if all of the building is done through resources.


I really would love to be able to right click on a component to buiild, and get it added to a small task window on screen. This window will keep track of resources on hand that are required to complete that component. The ability to queue up multiple build tasks would be great, with resources 'assigned' to tasks in order of them being added - for example with two tasks queued but of which need 240 Iron - if you only have 260 iron on hand the task list would identify that the first buildable can be completed, but the 2nd one isn't.


That task window would also need to keep track of which buildables are finished and remove them from the list.


We will also need the ability to submit that build task to production machines to build those components that we can't back pack build. into the machines.
