Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This is really simple: when starting a new manufacturing/invention job, try to autopick assemblyline from the same facility i used last time for this type of job, if it can be used and has a slot immediately available. Otherwise, just let me find one myself like it is currently.

Currently, starting a manufacturing job at pos takes a lot of clicks:
- blueprint right, manufacture
- "pick assemblyline"
- "current solar system"
- click factory
- doubleclick free slot
- set runs, ok, accept

With a simple autopick next feature, you would save 6 annoying hoops to jump through, for no real purpose of gameplay. The same goes for invention and other industry jobs.

IMO Running industry should not be about clicking through the same dialogs over and over, but instead about planning and running the numbers, watching the markets etc.

Autopick could be smarter than that, but just reusing the same setting used last time is simplest to do. Though it is important to verify the slot is of correct type and available, otherwise this feature is almost counter-useful.
