SE5 questions/inquires

1. Is it possible to give more layout options by modding? For example, I always want these terms on my construction layout: 'free facility space', 'mixed race with one of them breathable on this planet'

2. In system list, can I keep only systems on it? (without planets, asteroids, storms... ) I.e., a layout/filter combination that displays only system-wide effects. Maybe a custom filter can do this?


The next two are rather new functions I believe. But it's handy to have these:

3. A 'Go to' button in shift-Q construction queues sidebar

4. Is it possible to give a construction order such as 'build 1 turn production of selected unit with full construction rate' in ONE button click?

'build 1 turn production of selected unit with full construction rate' This is not needed.
Just queue up enough to fill your carrier, or etc, and you'll get as many as are done each turn.

One turn's worth doesn't have any benefit anymore since build rate carries over to the next projects.

One turn's worth still have its benefit, for player instead of his empire. Player may wish to build as many units as he could during this turn but some new designs next turn. This becomes very common since technology level is not static unless you build no research centers. Revising on all production lists of spaceyards could cost significant time.

That's where the new "upgrade all in queues" function comes in handy.

7. Added - "Upgrade Queues" button on the Designs window. This will upgrade one design to another throughout all of the empire's construction queues.

You still have the problem of the loss of nutrients and radioactives (if you're a minerals-heavy race) when you cancel the remaining construction.
