Title: Repeating order x times
Post by: Kamilo on April 14, 2020, 10:20:18 AM
Is it possible to repeat an order x times, instead of clicking it x times?

You can duplicate the current order list. So if you want it a number of times that's a power of two, you can do it pretty easily. Otherwise, it's more work.

You can also check "cycle orders", the fleet whil repeat orders ad vitam aeternam

Well clicking a few hundred times is less than fun and more than just time consuming.  In VB6 you could repeat the order x time via numbers

If you want it 16 times, say, just input it once and then duplicate order 4x. That'll do 1x->2x->4x->8x->16x, with only four extra clicks after the basic orders go in. It's not ideal, but it's okay for some applications.

For small operations that works just fine but as soon as it goes to mines or even infrastructures the fun stops quite rapidly

Use repeating orders for that. You'll get a notification when the fleet runs out of things to move.
