Building Construction Inventory

*adding materials*
1 Building material added... out of 35 carried

This hunt-and-peck style of construction kinda grates after a while. Especially since recent updates have only made it so Engineers only add one material at a time. It goes way too slow (and I don't want to increse the building speed slider, that just feels cheaty).

To that end, I suggest that buildings have a slot that you can drag the necessary materials into from your inventory, and engineers will build using that. They could also take materials to it and fill it up before starting construction. You could equate it to gathering materials at a building site before starting construction.

The auto engineer job will grab 2 materials at a time. The max it will apply then is 2 materials. It used to be engineers would fill their inventory, but people complained and the amount got limited.

If you manually order your engineer to grab 12 materials it will usually apply all 12 materials. Although it does get kinda funky sometimes just adding numbers at random, but it is still faster than the auto-engineer job.

You cna also use multiple engineers but the game AI kidna gets dumb with it. It does help for actual construction after material is applied. However when it comes time to apply the material only one person can apply and then the rest will run off to grab materials, get half way there and then run back.

I hope that helps explain a bit.

If you're in a hurry you have to manage it.

im building a massive base over a huge area. i have all my main fights (12) plus a handful of others who are engineers working on it. ai needs a kick in the pants at times but in general works fine. are u using 3x speed or what ever fastest option is? are ur ppl just all new and thus slow as ♥♥♥♥ from carrying too much weight and traveling? my builders are 40-60str and around 90 athletics. when the ai gets stupid i do manual control my main character. then he will throw everything down at once and the swarm runs over to help build it lol. also if u are finding u do this more than less. load up a garu or spider and have it set to follow ur MC. then u will have supplies right next to u while u build.
