faster way to fill construction que?

[Cipher]

Like shif clicking 1million times sucks. I'm making over 9 stacks of 999 large fuel packs. Is ther an easier way then shift click tends to hurt the hands after a while.

[Xango2000]

Not that I know of

[Cipher]

Wold be nice to add an ammount. Also can't wait or a crouch and prone would be nice for fixing ships excet :) DEVS please read this lol.

CTRL-SHIFT = 100 items? Would that be do-able? Probably time I did the entire survey again.

[Black Raven]

either ctrl shift, or shift right click maybe should be added for sure

[Cipher]

Or even an add ammount menu to add the full 999? :) Also A clear cue option you have to do the click fest to remove items you don't want producting. Sorry for my spelling. These realy hold back alot of production time.

install autohotkey, create new script, copy and paste:

z:: ;"z" triggers the script (or any other key you like)
SendInput {LShift down}
Loop ;loop the script untill broken
{ ;loop start
GetKeyState, var, z, P ;Get the state of z (or any other key you like)
If var = U ;has it been released?
Break ;its been released so break the loop
SendInput {LButton down} {LButton up} ; click
sleep 10 ;Time delay between clicks
}
SendInput {LShift up}
return

point at product, press and hold "z". your mouse thanks you a thousand times. release the key when done.

I just started leaning how the tool works and got distracted before I got farther than a x10 clicker loop. The nuances of the langage are beyond me at the moment though to match your loop triggering.

Thanks alot. But I think I'm good on installing a 3rd party program. Should be in game.

building in large quantities is a big part of this game and so this should be addressed.

+1 to canceling an entire stack of qued objects. Especially since you can't cancel a stack in progress except by taking the ingredients out of the constructor.

[Komotz]

+1 Yeah, would like to be able to queue x100 items at a time

[Alecium]

devs should make it like some other games, where SHIFT + Click queues 10 per click and CTRL + Click queues 100 per click, and ALT + click queues up 1000 (or 999) per click

You have to turn the constructor off to cancel stuff. It's a way of avoiding an old bug involving free materials from way back when, which I don't think they ever REALLY fixed.

I've tried turning the crafter off, when I turn it on it keeps going. The only way I found to cancel a build que is to remove the ingredients, as stated. There needs to be a 'cancel' button, a 'craft all' button, and an 'increment x10' button.

Turn it off and just click in q

instead of a outside-script/program....

why not just alt+shift+num-lock

numpad / --- left click mode
numpad * --- both click mode
numpad - --- right click mode

numpad 1-4 6-9 --- Cursor movement
numpad 5 --- Click
numpad + --- Click (For some reason both are single clicks - there was a time when numpad + was double clicking for me, not sure what happened.)

Shift (in game) - trigger 10x queueing

Shift (hold)
Numpad 5&+ in sync (Hold)

If numpad 5 and + are hit at the same time, This will trigger a rapid-fire click(spam) for as long as both are held. Releasing any of them will cease this "spam"


Be Warned - That when you have less optimized code and click-animations and effects - that clicking /too much/ with tons more clicking input still left to process - can lag the game or computer (not that I've experienced it in Empyrion ever)


Additional Note: These Clicks are "click" + "release" with each repeat - if something is semi-auto - these will do that, properly

If something is auto- click to fire and hold - These will still do that, just technically not properly, as it will be attempting to fire like a semi-auto.

Num-lock - activate/deactivate MouseKeys (Toggle)

Alt+shift+Num-Lock again Disable/turn off MouseKeys - Num-Lock must be pressed again in order for Num-lock to be active again for numpad number usage. - MouseKeys being disabled will leave Numlock off - regardless of state MouseKeys was in (active or inactive)

Itemmenu/Creative items - * (both click mode) will cause you to click whole stack and 1-count stack
example of usefulness - Large Generator (t2) - 1 count stack size - can be stacked up to 999.
Left click - whole stack (1 count)
Right click - 1 count stack (1 count)

both click - 2 count.
5(Both click) 2 count
+ (both click) 2 count
sync 5 and + (hold both click) - 2-4count rapidly.
result - rapidly stack Large Generator (t2) for whatever use you have.

example of nonuseful - Warp Tank - 999 count stack size
left click - 999
right click 1
both - 1 stack of 999 and 1 stack of 1 (max count 999)

Everywhere else - Primarily / (left click mode) is the only real used mode/function.
