There is a thread in the discussions section of the game's community hub on steam for general mod discussion.
I am not sure I would trust an auto deploy function not to deploy them in a place where they would immediately get destroyed.
Yes, there is a manta shield. On the advanced production screen at the top where it says Show: All items, you can click on that to cycle through to display missing blueprints.

not sure where to post this, but any chances you could add auto deploy and recal for the droids that you can put on the walruses? also, im on campaign and dont have everything unlocked so just curious if there is a shield for the manta or is it just available for the Walrus?

okay, my mistake, i was looking under the carrier and thought that those were the auto queue settings XD but i think that is what the carrier can hold

Hmm, I'll try tomorrow, gonna let you know on this post how it goes

You should be able to just click the + and - buttons on each item. It is possible you have hidden the auto-queue settings. Click the auto heading at the top to cycle through display settings.

Alright, if the controller support Is not possible then that's alright, gonna have to learn to play with keyboard and mouse, how do I change the auto queue amount though? I just can't figure that out, since there are some stuff that I would like to remove, and some stuff to increase the queued amount and so on, but I just can't find a way to change them

@Cosette Setting the auto-queue amount for an item will automatically add to the queue until you have that amount available. Amount available includes any already fitted on units, any in carrier stock and any still on the stockpile island or on the barque. You also have to have the minimum amount of material available for that item's priority setting. If you don't care about minimum materials, set the min materials all to 0.
Unfortunately the developers did not provide a method to read controller inputs.

Also any chances that you could work on a full controller support for this mod? I'm used to playing this game with a controller ( I used to have CCGM on xbox 360 )

Or maybe that is because I'm playing the campaign mode

I'm just not sure how to increase the auto queue for items and remove others, any chances you could make a short video explaining it? Since I don't seem to be able to do it
