Need a priority craft hotkey

[MiniHerc]

So I've queued up a few hundred of something early game, say belts in groups of 5. And then about a third of the way in, I realize I need something of x right now. As it is, my only options are to either wait for the rest to finish crafting or spam shift-r-click a few dozen times to cancel the crafting queue.

We need a hotkey for priority crafting, so whatever we try to craft with that hotkey is crafted right now and the rest of the manual crafting queue is shuffled after.

I fully agree.

However, this has already been suggested many times, for example two months ago in this thread. I suggest you post in that thread, instead of moving the discussion to this thread.

We've discussed this internally and came to the conclusion we don't want to change it because it discourages mass hand crafting - you should automate the production of the items you need

You... Monster!

PS: Maybe we could have research queuing then?

It doesn't really discourage mass hand crafting. Remember: you can only craft one item at a time while all the machines together can craft thousands.
