infinite production of weapons

Hi,

i would suggest that you can give your weapon and armor smiths an infinite queue of orders.
Example:
When you have a current queue of 0 leather armors to produce and click on the minus button there will be produced an infinite amount of leather armors.


Reason:
When i build weapon and armor smiths i have to click really often on the plus sign (yes, i know, that there is rightclick) just get a queue that will never and during that game. It would save me some time to just enable infinite production and i think that alot of other players could find that really handy (and i think that it is not game breaking at all, just saves arround 20-30 clicks for each smith).

cheers,
Sebastian

PS: please play maps other than cursed ravine aswell ;)

People like you give me faith in the public pool of players :)

Anyway, Krom already implemented a SHIFT+CLICK gives 100 or something similar. This should solve the problem.

Shift+Click is probably the best we can do without redoing orders UI.
Otherwise we need a key/button for infinite, plus a button/key to undo it, plus display infinite glyph into the numeric field (KaM font don't have that sign).
All in all having +100 should be quite enough, several clicks and you have order of 500 that is more than necessary for 98% of games :)

This can be done with one button having ON/OFF states.

+100 would be perfectly fine for me. does the trick, but some kind of toggle button labeled with a simple "i" for infinity would be even greater :)

What about "Holding right click on + for more than 3 sec" : Infinite Production? :P

IN Settlers you can btw only make like 99 weapons and when you push one more time, it will switch to infinte.
