Production Building Batch Training (Barracks and Blacksmiths)

[kun0]

I have had this error since A24. When putting multiple Barracks in one control Group, one or more often stop working.

Happens in booming and when rebuilding larger Batches of Population.

Say I'd have 10 Barracks and want to produce 30 Soldiers. Often it ends up with 6 Barracks doing Batches of 5, instead of all 10 doing 3.

 

Same with Blacksmiths, If i have 3 in one control group. If i then just select the symbols, they often get queued all on one Blacksmith, instead of spreading it evenly.

 

Probably this is a known bug, but didn't find it. WIl it be fixed or do I have to always double check if everything works and manually use it?

Maybe it would also be nice that the hotkey that shows the health of a unit or building would also show if that building is Idle or in use.

Maybe you click too often, or your batch size is too big, if you plan to make batches of three and they suddenly are batches of 5.

Blacksmiths: Multiplayer lag can cause that issue. Maybe click a bit slower

This is the fix for me too. I don't know it fixes it, but it isn't ideal.

Intrestingly it prioritizes older buildings and baracks. I sometimes end up having 10 batches queued in cc while baracks are ideling, despite ofc using whole control group

WOW, I had no idea that if you select 4 blacksmiths and click all techs it will spread them out if you do it slowly. I just make my blacksmiths in a line so I can click each of them like a robot. (tbh maybe blacksmiths shouldn't be so cheap, but its for another discussion).
