Production control station
I'd like to suggest a central production control station as a console to enhance the production experience and, uh, control.
Building a control station (and accessing it) would ideally unify the production screen and show all buildable items (based on what production items are on the grid), vs. having to select 'smelter' to make a steel plate and then 'assembler' to make a motherboard.
This should allow you to queue up much larger production runs (more than 100 at a time), and select which storage container (specifically) the output should go to for that run (with defaults settable). I could also see it tapping into some SE1 automation scripts where you could setup minimum inventory levels to automate some production, such as 'if <specific storage> has less than 'x' number of <material> then make 'y' of <material> until <specific storage> has 'x'. Yes, this last part could be done in a script later when scripting is available, but it feels like basic functionality.
I like this feedback
