Prioritization of Production

Let's say I have two factories and a dreadnaught.

 

I click the first factory and set it to produce one brute unit on a repeated cycle (continuous brute production).

I click the second factory, and I tell it to produce two hermes (Just two. Then nothing).

I click the dreadnaught and tell it to call for a whole bunch of medics.

 

What happens?

What is the prioritization of the orders? 

What is the underlying logic for the sequence that would be applied?

Was actually hoping to get an answer to this one. :)

 

Seems important for gameplay.

 

Does no one know?

I don't really get the question actually. Sorry

The brutes produce, the dread is a dread and you haven't build medics yet?

If you have a factory with Brutes, Medic and you have it reproduce on auto. it'll Produce even numbers, if you have one with 2 - 1 medic on the  queue they you're ratio will be the same.

OK... so let me clarify.

 

When you produce at a factory, as far as I know, the unit will pop out and go to a rally point that you define.

 

However, when you call for reinforcements, as far as I know, the unit will become part of the army (without extra clicks), and will proceed directly to its place in the formation.

 

These two things can happen simultaneously -- meaning you can have a queue at the factory AND be calling for reserves simultaneously.

 

But the factory can only do one thing at a time.

 

SO... my question is how the game handles that scenario.

 

Which orders are filled first?

 

What is the prioritization and sequence?

 

(and I wasn't sure whether repeating orders would be treated differently than one-time orders, so I listed two factories, instead of one).

 

Better? More clear?

Oh fair play, I haven't ever used that function so I don't know

There is no prioritization right now, you need to leave a few Factories without doing anything for the Reinforcements to work, if you have all the factories in auto build then the Reinforcement option does not work.

The game right now does not have prioritization and sequence.

I may be wrong tho.

It will be cool to have that option enabled (having auto-build but when you ask for reinforcement then it will stop auto-building and give the reinforcement and when its done with reinforcements it will go back with auto build)

"There is no prioritization. You need to leave a few factories for reinforcements to work."

 

Sounds to me like factory production has priority. :)

I frankly don't care how they resolve the priority, but... it needs to be clear.. whatever they decide.

 

Granted, the availability of both options does seem to pose certain challenges/difficulties.

So... would be something like...

 

1) Repeating factory productoin

2) Factory production

3) Reinforcements

I think so.
