Is there anyway to rapidly place blueprints?

Hi

I remember playing ages ago and people would rapidly place blueprints without completing the building.

I can hotkey and do it quick, but, not as quick as people used to!

Is there a shortcut key or any way to automatically control/shift drag the queue, and get the builder to just place and move on so that nano/builders who are on patrol can finish?

Hold Q as a modifier key during placement.

Cool, thanks! :)

p.s. is there a maximum? I did this for a grid of nanos, went back and it looks like my builder is trying to manually build one/stops quickly placing after ~10-15?

There shouldn't be a limit but maybe your finger slipped. It's hard to hold 4 modifier keys at the same time :D

There is a limit of buildings u can place iwht one command. I think its about 100. Noticeable when u try to place huge windgen farm.

ALso if u tell a couple of builders to place few frames, only one of them will actaully place frames, while the rest will keep completeing buildings in teh same order as frames were placed.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I think it was overlap - it was the ones I overlapped that tried to build!

Whoever is suffering from these issues hasn't been using a proper editor[Spoiler] for some time.

GBrankwilhil2 Nanoframes have been nerfed though and won't be of much use beside speedmetalling and windfarming. They don't block bullets anymore.

I like the Q modifier. When I need to build a farm, it's quite handy to get things started by one unit only to let the rest finish the job. It's a lot more efficient for ground-based units because there's almost no fighting over what will occupy the space.

The only drawback I see to the Q modifier is my system is not able to do both Q and space at the same time. So - when I want blueprints added first, I have to start the unit's build queue all over again unless all I want to do is append the queue.
