Production quick add buttons or keys
When running any of the production factories - smelter, assembler, refinery, etc. - on SE 1, we could add 10, 100 or 1000 items to the queue using the keyboard.
- Shift - Add 10 items to the queue
- Ctrl - Add 100 items to the queue
- Shift+Ctrl - Add 1000 items to the queue
As I am working on using components instead of raw ore, I find that I don't like the slider - which is a nice have - over those buttons. This is especially true when I need to craft a large number of components, such as crafting thousands of steel plates to construct the extended platform for larger ships at the Starter Platform station. Having to repeatedly click on the slider then the arrows to get to 100 to add, then repeat the process due to the slider reset, is very annoying and repetative.
As an alternate to the shift and ctrl keys, you could also have quick-add buttons for the specific amounts.
- Add 10
- Add 100
- Add 1000
- Add Custom - user can enter the specific number that they want to put into the queue
Or allow double-click to turn the amount into an input field on the slider, so the user can enter the amount.
I like this feedback
