a longer queue for bigger screens would be nice also
so actual production + next production is ready now, but suggestion to have more production slots.

I'd say this should be option that you can set for factory/mega building.

this is about "production slots" not the classic space-slots of the building - i was just not sure you think the same.

Since i suggested for aoww for soviets a 2x2 factory with 2 production lines.

And once again i am saying that this must be a specification that we may add to building.
Like specification of «No counter attack» or specification of «counts as factory».

ok but this is not for parallel production (as i feel you mention that)
this is only more options to set in the "sequence" more than current 2.
(i wrote just to be sure.)

Oh that one.
To see for example 3rd and maybe even 4th production.

I think we don't really need this feature. I doubt the majority of players will use the "sequence" production selector, even now I hardly use it as it is currently.

Only when I really need to swap over I use it to remind me not to forget. Else, it's pretty fun and relaxing choosing and swapping unit production and I doubt most will think 3-4 units ahead.

We players pick the best unit for the occasion, strong against tanky, ranged against vulnerable and fast when in doubt.

No planned economy here... Unless you are playing for fun.

I use sequence production every time.

I am playing for fu but also i like deep planning so for me it is nice to have.

I think your case is rare to find.
But who knows.

I also use sequence production A LOT, as it helps me keep the line of thinking I had in previous turns of matches without needing to send a bazillion messages to myself every time. And yeah, more slots to that could help significantly there, as sometimes I have an idea of what I want to produce for the next 2 or 3 units/techs in a city.

Maybe to not interfere with those that don't use it, the additional slots would only be shown based on how many you are currently using? For example:
  • Using only the first slot (current production): only the first and second slot are shown
  • Using the first and second slots: the first, second and third are shown
  • Using the first up to the third slots: the first up to the fourth are shown
And so on
