antinukes should automatically load 100 in stockpile

[TradeMark]

if you ever build antinukes, you have the required E/M to build them, so its silly that they dont load them by default... sometimes you forget to load them...

sure there is this stockpiler widget, but its not on by default (yet?)

the point is that antinukes doesnt eat so much E/M per second that you cant afford loading them, i personally never encountered such situation.

its different situation in nukes, since they cost 1000 energy and 11 metal per second.. or something, so sometimes you cant afford them.

[YokoZar]

There's no point building a nuke launcher/anti-nuke/juno/carrier unless you're going to queue them, so yes they should start with a queue by default.

[polarstar_111]

I agree with this.

[Gone]

Yeah. It is pretty annoying setting an amount of stockpile required. Especially when some major action is going on.

[polarstar_111]

And then there are noobs that either forget to stockpile them or only stockpile like 3.

[JohannesH]

3 is quite enough 95% of the time though.

Bullshit. Even non-speedmetal games will typically see more than 3 nukes launched per launcher built.

Yes but generally not on the same spot (since the player will start firing nukes elsewhere)

lol this argue again about "you only need 3! dont build more... and scream at that day when the 4th nuke would have won the battle"

We should make new engine feature that you can turn on/off the nuke building, and there would be no stockpile limit at all. unless you define that by an unit setting.

LuaUI Widget?

[JohannesH]

wtf engine change, what for? Just use the widget...

can you make on/off button with widget and hide the stockpile number, without using luaUI? so i dont need to click it 1-100 times with mouse when i want to empty it.

it is much more logical if there was just on/off button, since theres no stockpile limit at all.

[manolo_]

@TM use the dynamic stockpile widget for the antinukes it could waht u want

[TradeMark]

thats what i already use.

still i feel it needs some nicer way of doing the stockpile thing... could have on/off button along the stockpile number, when its at "on" mode it would not care about stockpile limit at all and just build new nukes all the time, and in "off" mode it would look when the stockpile limit is reached and then stop building. default "on" and no nukes in stockpile, this way you could handle the stockpiles easily, if you need only 2 nukes for each silo, you can first set them all at "off" mode, and then add 2 nukes to stockpile.

edit: and when you have "on" mode, it would show only the nukes available, not the stockpile limit. so then it looks nice and simple...

Shift-Click queues 5
Control-Click queues 20
Shift-Control-Click queues 100



Why not luaui though?

all that is needed is that widget included with BA and enabled by default:
