    @thecore I would recomend using hotkey for upgrade instead of yousing q w for hq and support factories. As it will do hq if you dont have one and will do support one if hq already exists.
    Also there are currently no hotkeys for upgrades on acu. #At least i dont know of them.

      How could u use the multi unit hotkey when its a factory. Rn it only works on buildings cus with buildings u click to show u have selected the correct unit. With factories there is no why to know if u wanted choice 1 or 2.

        @SpikeyNoob you actually q by pressing lmb in the required quantities and the give the rally point by rmb which is also the trigger to close the selection window.

          That seems slower than the current solution. Whst about queueing large amounts of units. If click the key too fast before the mouse button u will end up with wrong units. Also if the unit i want is the 3rd option and i want 4 units, thats 12 key presses and 4 mouse presses compared to the 4 using the current system. At that point just use normal clicking of the icon.

            @spikeynoob The input sequence would be for example q q shift+lmb w lmb s lmb d d lmb k lmb
            Its not that hard tbf

              Good point with shift. Why are there no lmb after w and s?

                @spikeynoob current solution require a shit load of keys being used. The choice is up to you to either memorise 150 keys or use 20 keys with a bit slower input (the actual input timings shouldnt be THAT much slower as you describe id say its 1-5 seconds at most)

                  @spikeynoob Actually on a second thought we should add a priority so that the higher tech unit comes before its lesser tech unit predecessor in the selection window. Thanks for noticing. So that later in a game would save you from pressing the same key few times.

                    @yellownoob Agreed, I think that would be a lot faster.

                      @tagada said in Ive thought of a really good way of making life easier.:

                      Ah forgot that existed, well that may be fine for most players then

                      As a note its bugged for factories. And can resulted in an interesting interactions but functionality exist yes
