Jainee Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Everything else allows you to choose priority for the action with default of 5 and NOT store that priority for consequent actions (destroying, mining, etc). Building priority is somehow getting stored and I have two choices - either I have to remember to manually specify it every time (but it will devolve into priority 9 for everything eventually anyway). Or I never touch priority slider in build menu at all, opting instead for changing priority manually over placed building blueprint. That's a lot more reliable option, but it frustrates the hell out of me and require a lot more clicking. What was the reasoning behind that change? Was there any? And what can I do about it, maybe some configs have that option? Please help, save me from a carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sasza22 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Building priority remembers the priority you build the last thing but resets to 5 on loading game. If you just set priority 6 when building a tile (you don`t even need to place it) the game will remember for the next thing you build. If you want it back at 5 just set it to 5 after you finish building.

Jainee Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 That is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Setting it back (actually, remembering to set it back) after I built something. Nothing else behaves that way, not digging, not destroying, not mopping or such. Why is building different? Why do I have to click extra time to restore defaults or track the last priority at all?

Best option IMO, along with checking material. TBH I actually hate that it doesn't remember the other priorities (digging and deconstruction for example) as I tend to keep same priority for a local project, then setup other priority for another one. Needs interface improvements though, as it is quite cumbersome now. Also, good errand prioritization is one of the key skills in ONI IMO. Try not to get caught in the in the "priority-9" spiral...

Jainee Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 I would not have assigned every priority manually right now if i didn't grasp the importance of prioritizing, thank you very much... And I don't do a single project at a time like you do, I do a lot of them in parallel on all sides of the map. And I am fine as long as priority is mainly 5 unless I want it lower or higher for any reason. If they change it to be like this for everything in the game without an opt-out, I would probably quit. It is too much already in build menu only. And by the looks of the answers in this thread there is no way to change that behavior right now, isn't there?

Nitroturtle Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Easy way to work around the issues listed above. Take whatever resource you have a lot of, that you don't want to use (mafic rock or steel) and spam build orders for a bunch of tempshift plates out in space or some other unreachable area. This will allocate large amounts of the resource, preventing it from being auto-selected if you make sure it's not your most plentiful resource. I agree, it's very annoying, but just wanted to share the method I use to work around it.
