Hello,
first of all: Thank you cliffski for coming up with such a great idea of making this game. It’s awesome!
I played several hours in 1.02 and 1.03 now and I think it’s time for me to share my suggestions.
Most of the time I need items in a stockpile which are required by the assembly station next to it.
I think an option to use a “items template” would be nice: When adding items to a stockpile there should be an optional setting “use template” and all parts with the corresponding required amount are automatically put in the item list.
The only thing I have to do then is adjusting the amount to my needs. When I already have such a stockpile there should be an option to “copy” that stockpile with its item list and the amounts.
Example for the template: When I select the template for “fit engine assembly” the following items will be added to the list: 1 flywheel, 1 starter motor, 8 valves
I have attached a modified screenshot how the template thing could be implemented in the interface.
After building bigger and bigger production lines I hope something like that is possible to implement, because it would help a lot.
Regards, Meikl
