If there was a way where I could capture Civil Centre then the Civilians I spawn with are with their own building faction equivalent to C&C;TW then it would be quite fun, chaotic and a bit of unfair.

So I guess I'll have to wait for multithreaded support good luck to the devs, I love this project with my whole heart, truly nothing like it

Hi @seregadushka, It is very understandable that you feel that some features of the game in their current state, prevents you from appreciating the game fully. Repetitive tasks, aren't adding anything to the game-play experience. And it is part of the 0.A.D. vision to limit them as possible. "This interactive/real-time contest should challenge the mind and avoid boring repetitive actions." As such, units autonomously carry on after cutting a tree as one of the example you provided, but this is because we can be confident enough that the player would want this to happen. However, production is complex. It depends on a lot of factors, and influence of lot of other things too. For example, there are already problems often stemming from the current auto-queue : If the user need the resources for another purpose, auto-queue might unconviniently consume them Which building should produce if two of them are competing for the same limited resource? How can the actions that we will be carried be as best controllable by the player? Theses challenges, I did face them when trying to make the trainer feature in ModernGUI. Because I was new to programing, to UX design, and even to 0.A.D. the feature is built with a bit of things that I wish to revisit. Mainly, it adds waaaay too much buttons to the UI, and complex ones too. I have in mind a system that will permit to have the QOL gained by this trainer feature, but without the added complexity. Basically, make it feel like it is very naturally integrated. It might be something that will come sometime in ModernGUI, and that I will poll here on the forum for an integration in vanilla. My beliefs are also that we should enrich some other parts of the game-play such as formations, units abilities... Sort that the game become even more of a strategic contest and less then just a measure of 'mechanical skills'.

@seregadushka This queue locking feature that you suggest exist in some mods, called Autoqueue or ProGUI or something. You can ask @Atrik for help on this
