factorys slaved?

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

hey i'm not sure if this is a bug or something i missed cos i've been away a little bit, but i start my game i get going i get out my first titan and progress in to a major fight building reinforcement then the titan gets destroyed and the unit disbands when i build a new titan and request reinforcements none of my factory's build anything. if i tell them to build they do it but not as reinforcements. are the factorys slaved to one titan or something and after its death you have to manually build or is this a bug.

I've seen the same, and I assume it is a bug. My workaround is to build new factories closer to the frontline, so it is even good for something - without that bug I always forget about building a forward base.

Forgive my ignorance, but how does the reinforcement mechanic work? I simply set a rallying point for each factory type and then manage unit movement to an established army, un-form army, re-form army, etc.

Thanks.

Reinforcements seem to come from any available factory. If you have factories on repeat or the queue is already full, reinforcements come from the other available factories. 

I've been experimenting with building factories closer to the front lines and destroying the ones back in my base, so the units don't have as far to stream. 

I would be cool if we could set a factory rally point to a specific army. Any requested reinforcements only come from that factory(s)  with the rally set.

So there's no visible setting or "rally point" line to see? It's all just implied and behind the scenes?

You can set rally points, just not to a specific army. Seems to be run behind the scenes.
