Make it so that building and inventing things are not such a clickfest.
Standard procedure for inventing 10 BPCs of "Sensor Booster II" after I've sourced a set of max run BPCs, datacores and the data interface thingy, dropping them in POS labs;
Right Click Sensor Booster I BPC #1
- Invent
- Click to choose the lab
- "View region"
- "My corporation"
- Click on lab (at a POS)
- Click lab slot
- Click accept
Right Click Sensor Booster I BPC #2
- Invent
- Click to choose the lab
- "View region"
- "My corporation"
- Click on lab (at a POS)
- Click lab slot
- Click accept
Right Click Sensor Booster I BPC #3
- Invent
- Click to choose the lab
- "View region"
- "My corporation"
- Click on lab (at a POS)
- Click lab slot
- Click accept
Right Click Sensor Booster I BPC #4
- Invent
- Click to choose the lab
- "View region"
- "My corporation"
- Click on lab (at a POS)
- Click lab slot
- Click accept
Right Click Sensor Booster I BPC #5
- Invent
- Click to choose
- "View region"
- "My corporation"
- Click on lab (at a POS)

GGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH :slams head at the desk:

Hmm, wait, my char could only run 9 slots. So it fails. It naturally could not tell you this when I right clicked "invent".
I will then have to return 1 hour 15 minutes later and repeat this for another set of 9 copies (as BPC copy process maxes out at 20 max run copies, the usual "assembly line run" is 20 BPCs.
Streamlining this process would help Inventors everywhere to retain their sanity.
I should also point out that when I finally get a nice pile of Sensor Booster II blueprints out (which I can, thank god, just paint all in the jobs list and hit "deliver" once), I then get to build them and it goes something like this;
Right Click Sensor Booster II BPC
- Manufacture
- Click to choose factory
- Click on assembly line
- Click "from Materials" (hangar select)
- Click "to Finished Products" (hangar select)
- Update number of runs from 1 to 10
- Click accept
- Verify bill of materials, hit accept
...which I then get to do as many times as I have BPCs. Again. But I'll just skip the remaining repeats in order to keep this post shorter.
I trust you see my issue here... As to how exactly it should be better, I leave that to your very talented developers to solve. Just don't make me click so many times and don't make me re-select everything every-damn-time. Thank you.
(if you or your superiors fail to see the issue, I recommend that every CCP person is tasked to go and invent & build 20 BPCs of Tech 2 modules and then tell again that it is all working fine) |
