How to build (10 or 25 or 50) of a particular item?

[City Builder]

Hey,

So I'd like to build 10 red research jars at a time and not have to click 10 times on the red jar icon to build them. I think if I hold shift and click it's going to build all that I have resources for. Is there a hot key that will allow me to queue up 10 items at a time? So if I want to build 100 jars I only need hold the hotkey and press the icon 10 times instead of 100 times.

Right click does 5 at a time

5 at a time is the fastest you can build items by hand. You need to build assemblers and let them do it for you-- they're way more time efficient than building stuff by hand.

You could always, you know... build a factory. That's sort of the point of the game...

Personally, I hate tying up my manual-build with a bunch of stuff anyway. You can always set down a factory, load up the exact number of resources you need, then delete the factory when it's finished making what you want. That has the added bonus of letting you build other things manually while the factory is making them.

Shift Click uses all the material you have for max amount of product. :)

He said that in the OP, but that's not what he wanted.

If you hold shift, then left click on somethin' you wanna craft, it will make as many as you have resources for.

Yeah, just hold shift and left click.

Can't decide if you're unable to read or just trolling.

OP, which you quoted:

Emphasis mine.

OP originally said he was aware of this, but only wants to build 10 red research, not "all that he has resources for."

Yet, responses have been

That is the answer OP was looking for. - thread locked.
