For example, I’m pushing black sky and need cat power reserves; I have it set to build temples which take gold which take time, it does it automatically for me.

Thanks! Pretty useful for building AM space structures while burning TCs. This feature is significantly reduced amount of switching between tabs.
Can we have a queue for feeding Leviathans? I have to send them more than 500 necrocorns, that’s boring indeed.

Awesome to hear its planned, glad I’m not just blind as wasn’t sure if that was the case. Thanks for your awesome work.

Works on moon missions and things like that, too, not just buildings, which saves me from having to look at another tab sometimes.

I’m not sure how I’d use it during active play. If there were a keyboard modifier to queue up buildings, I think I could integrate it into my workflow. But searching for the building through a list takes too long right now.
So instead, I’m just it to queue a dozen Catnip Fields or Biolabs. The buildings that don’t really do much, are slow to accumulate, but still feel better to be maxed in the end-game.
I expect the UI will improve in time. It’s a cool feature to have regardless. Thanks Ziggurat for adding it!

IIRC it also scales with AI cores.

It’s still a very wip feature, so stabilizing it and porting it to the mobile UI will take time. We will likely have a “enqueue” button next to precraft.

Man, that helped so much during that industrial era purchasing observatories and lumber mills that require you to stockpile iron forever without crafting any steel. Or the upgrades that require you to refrain from trading so you can stockpile gold.
Now in my freaky leviathan trading phase, I use it to buy upgrades for all the unobtanium buildings since I can only craft so much eludium while idling.

Basically say you need an extra 5 beams and 3 plates in order to craft a warehouse it will craft those exact amounts needed then let you craft the warehouse. Doesn’t allow queuing sadly.

Not sure what precraft is but it sounds like it might be the mobile version of the queue?
JarrahMate
So this feature just doesn’t exist for mobile right? Briefly played on PC but enjoying mobile for the precraft however you lose the queue. Huge loss too if there’s upgrades that make the queue longer.

Yes but I forget what it is exactly - I’m up to 7 now. It may have been factories or an upgrade for factories.
Yeah various factory upgrades on the Workshop tab give you more queue space - Factory Optimization 1, Factory Robotics 2, Space Engineers 2, AI Engineers 3.

Is there a way to increase the amount of things that can be queued? 2 is kinda useless

I have (checks) 52 Ziggurats ;)
It’s great now that I know how to use it! And you get more queue slots over time with upgrades, too.

(obligatory kudos to Ziggurat who is a dev behind this feature)

You can also use it during “the day” to build whatever slow building you have without "watching"it like a hawk. Right now I click on things that don’t cost gold and the temples build themselves.
