Any way to change the priorities of a lot of turrets?

Post by Orum »

I have a lot of turrets--literally thousands--I'd like to change the priorities on. Is there some way to do this, like an upgrade planner (i.e. an area selection) that will let me do this?

A big blueprint should minimize the effort ?

Connect them with wires (to radars for long distances) and use "Set priorities".

But if you haven't already wired them up, shift-right-click on one with the right priorities, then shift-left-click and move your mouse over all of them (probably best in remote view). Copy&paste entity settings feature.

Unfortunately shift left-click doesn't let you select an area, but it's at least better than nothing. Thanks.
