Post [Gameplay/Code] Start builds without initial supplies
Mmkay I came up with this to alleviate some of the hell that comes with mod building, so here it is.

Allow a build to be started without initial materials but don't let the build move past 0% until the materials are present. This way I could start 1 Ada, 2 Dem, 4 Lac, and 8 Tit mods so that the Tits would finish and start the Lacs, then they would finish thus starting the Dems, which would finish finally starting the Adas.

It would do wonders for helping module building be less of a hassle.

You know... I thought this would get a lot more '/signed's. I guess not everyone hates mod building as much as I thought. :P

I can, and do, build my own mods already. I just think the whole process should be streamlined a bit as it is currently awful.

I do the module builds for a fee(Bring bps if I dont already have them + supplies)

However, I don't particularly like the lack of streamlining.

This could be part of the Programming skill. 'Program' a base to begin a build when another build finishes.

Makes sense, /signed.

Question though, would the build take in initial materials as they come? Or only start once 100% of initial materials are satisified? (first method helps with decaying commodities)

This would allow people to build dem on a shop as it buys frags, for example. I do think you should be able to queue builds, sort of like slave programming for bases.
