Setting waypoints from Multi-Add

Is there any way to set shipyard waypoints for a large group of planets without going to the build queue of EACH AND EVERY ONE?

Good idea! I'll forward it to MM.

As long as we are doing stuff with Multi-Add...

I would like to see Multi-Add work exactly the same as a planetary build queue but have the results be applied to all the build queues. Since I build a lot of units, I would like for it to let me build as many of a particular unit as can be built in one turn. Right now, you can only select a set number. It is very annoying. In my mind, multi-add is a start. But right now, it is essentially broken. (I guess I should be glad it's there but it is just so primitive...)

You're selecting multiple yards. They may have different speeds..I'm guessing that's why it wasn't included. The number built wouldn't be consistant.

Sounds to me like that's Raynor's point. If the multi-add had a "One Turn's Worth" option, the game engine should be able to figure out how many that is for each planet chosen.

As a workaround, you could pick one yard with the lowest rate, build one turns' worth there, then multi-add the closest number to the others.

I agree with Raynor, multi add is definetly broken. But it seems to have great potential. The work around you propose just isn't satisfactory.
