Most units and buildings have 'behavior states' that can be set by the player to modify unit behavior on the fly. The state settings are set per-unit to allow different behavior of the same unit types.

The right side of the menu displays the settings of the selected units. This display is used to edit the settings. Clicking on a state toggles it. Most states with more than two settings can be toggled backwards with right click.

There is a subtlety in the use of this display: When multiple units in the selection have the same settings different states the display only shows one of the states. A displayed state does not guarantee all units in the selection have that state. Clicking on a state guarantees that every selected unit has the setting displayed after clicking.

=== Firestate ===
 
Firestate controls a unit's automatic targeting behaviour. This state is available for all armed units and structures. Player given commands and guard retaliation overrides firestate. As in a unit set to Hold Fire will still fire if it is given a direct order to attack. Units do not lose their current target when firestate changes.

=== Overkill Prevention ===
 
−
Some units have ''overkill prevention'' (OKP), such that if only one unit needs to fire to kill the target, other units will try to find a different target instead. This reduces wasted shots, useful for long-reload units such as [[Scalpel]]s.

=== Build Priority ===
 
=== Build Priority ===
  
−
Priority lets you control resource spending more accurately when spending exceeds income. See [[Economy_Guide#Priority |Economy Guide Priority]]
+
Priority lets you control resource spending more accurately and without resorting to putting more constructors on an important project.  
  
−
See also [[Economy_Guide#Reserving_resources|Resources Reserve]]
+
There are 3 levels of priority and each level gets to use resources before the levels below it. First resources are split evenly between high priority construction, if there are any resources left over the resources are split between normal priority construction. If both high and normal priority construction is working at full capacity the remaining resources are available for low priority construction.
  
−
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/LuaUI/Images/commands/states/wrench_high.png" height="24" width="24"/> '''High Priority''' — Constructors are always funded.
+
Both constructors and nanoframes have a priority button. If nanoframe priority is set all constructors with normal priority working on it will work at the priority of the nanoframe. A constructor with priority set simply works at that priority level.
  
−
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/LuaUI/Images/commands/states/wrench_med.png" height="24" width="24"/> '''Normal Priority''' — This is the default. Constructors with this set have their priority overridden by the nanoframe they are constructing.
+
Additionally a portion of your resources can be reserved to only be used by high priority construction (and unit morphing). Set the reserve level for both metal and energy by left-clicking on either resource bar (metal reserving must first be enabled in the menu). Right-click on a bar to set the reserve for that resource without affecting the other resource type.

==== Misc Priority ====
+
''A resource bar at approximately 50% energy reserve and 25% metal reserve''

Misc. priority is used for the unit's personal, non-construction resource consumption, i.e. from abilities like [[commander]] upgrades or [[Trinity]] stockpiling.
