Honestly, I'm not sure how much work each of these would take (they seem simple, but that doesn't mean they are), but they are things that pop out as things that can remove needless annoyances IMHO.
1. A. Have the "install job" thing for blueprints automatically select the first unoccupied slot in the station. I guess if there are no free slots, have it remain as-is or something, but if there's a free slot it should just pick it. AND/OR B. Batch installation of jobs using free manufacturing slots. If I have 8 blueprints of the same item and I want to install 5-run jobs for each of them, let me do it all at once.
2. More intuitive routing options for PI. Let us set up INCOMING routes at factories as well (i.e., "Pull this raw material from here, pull that raw material from there"). There's already an icon for each material on the screen, let ctrl-click or something do it.
3. Ability to copy factory setups. If you copy Factory A to Factory B then B makes the same item, pulls materials from the same location, and outputs product to the same location.
4. Upgradable launchpads, a la command centers. "Level 2" launchpad has twice the grid/CPU costs and twice the storage space. Level 3 has 3x, etc.
5. Rentable space in customs office. Pay a monthly fee and you can, say, get double the available space.
6. A. Batch-splitting for stacks. Let me take a stack of 10,000 and split off X seperate Y-unit stacks at once (like, 10 stacks of 100 units each). Or let me take 20 different stacks, and split Z off of each of each. B. Failing this, make the amount for splitting default to "last split size", instead of 1.
7. Optional snap-to feature for PI. Once you have a new structure ghost-icon thing within X pixels of a placed structure, it "snaps" to the existing structure as close as possible.
Not all of these are my ideas, some are partially or completely stolen from other posts I've seen... but hey, I don't want credit I just want it done. :-/

Wish list for PI:
*One-click input routing *Copy product, inputs & outputs in factories *Launchpad upgrades: twice the space, twice the cost, half the hassle! [ /sig ] |
