Interesting - it is possible. Any particular reason why it is only half speed? Take for example a slider where you can tell a structure (note: not a unit) to use a % of its build power. It feels a bit balance related in some sense, so I'd love to hear from the balance team about this idea too.
A slider might be too fiddly in the heat of doing 100 things at once in a stressful game. What about if you right click on the factory pause button it goes to build at half speed
mode but if you left click it does actually pause? We'd need a new graphic for the half speed pause button.
Would be a good option for when you don't want to pause everything but want to free up mass for another thing you are building. I am obviously aware you could just fully pause factories right now but am just suggesting this mechanism could ease up their mass consumption at key moments in the game. Hedging your bets of a sort, like if you think you have navy won so you reduce their output rather than pause it entirely...just in case..
