Construction Queue Question
 
Do constructions queues' build values spill over to the next item in the queue if the curent item doesnt use all of the resources?

For example, say you're building a ship which costs 2000 Min, 500 Org, and 500 Rad and your Space Yard has 3300,3300,3300 build rating. Does the unused 1300 of Minerals "spill over" into the next item or does it go wasted?

Thanks.

It's wasted:(

The only exception to this is if you are building units more than one at a time (ie, you select something other than "1" or "one turn's worth" when it asks you how many you want to build.

Thanks.

Is this something that could be changed by tinkering with the files?

Just an addition to make things clear:

While it is true that the unused amount does not spill over to the next item, the resources are not wasted. Only the construction potential is. In other words: the resources are simply not spent.

Oh, I see what you mean Rollo - good point, I don't want to mislead anyone.

Nope. Best you can do is to email Malfador and beg for it to be updated in the hard-code.
