Priority handcrafting -> first in the queue instead of last

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Priority handcrafting -> first in the queue instead of last

Post by Plantagen »

It should be possible to priority handcraft, for example by holding SHIFT and clicking on something to handcraft, which means this item is put first in the crafting queue instead of last.

That would be an enormous QOL improvement when lots of things are already queued and I need something NOW.

The way it currently is, I need to either wait for everything to finish crafting or cancel everything, craft the 1 item and then re-queue everything else.

I like this idea, we have the ability to do a similar thing with research, why not hand crafting?

This would be especially nice for the beginning of Fulgora when I like to hand recycle scrap during the day before I get enough accumulators to run the recyclers through the day, but run into this case often.

The answer has not changed since it was talked about over 8 years ago.
