What if you could make a delay in between units when you are making them in your factory? Like, insert a delay in between production of units.

Why would you want to do that?

well lets say you were me, and you always go spiders (not always but usually). I always build a factory plate, and since I learned that fleas are actually really good, I build lots of fleas with my factory plate. Well, the problem is, I could put it on repeat, but I would have waaay to many fleas and I would end up spending too much metal on them. Or, this is what I usually do, I could just come back every minute adding more to the queue when all my other ones die, which is very time consuming, so it would be interesting if you could do this.
Now I know I could just put it on low priority, but if you have lots of metal this has not effect anyways.

Also, is there a way to add more than one of that unit to the queue, like shift-click to add ten or something?

"Factory Production Modifiers

Left-clicking (or using the unit's hotkey) will add 1 unit to the queue, and right-clicking will remove 1 unit.

Hold SHIFT to add/remove 5 units to the queue.

Hold CTRL to add/remove 20 units to the queue.

Hold SHIFT+CTRL to add/remove 100 units to the queue.

Hold ALT to place the selected unit next in the queue. Factories in loop production mode do not repeat production of units queued with ALT"

Yes to all suggestions above.

New idea: place a circle like the retreat circle at the fac waypoint. Having an option for the fac to produce, till X units are in the circle, then wait.
