Favorite Command list & buildings ID

Right now we can program bots only by showing them what to do. For easy tasks its's enough but for more complex tasks and with multiple bots it's quite troublesome.

My suggestion is to add list of favorite commands. Just put command from robot onto that list and then use it in another program. That way we could not only copy/paste programs from bot to bot but also modify them without needing of starting from beginning.

Second suggestion is to add ID for building nad show it in commands. Right now we can see in program "Go to Workbench" but we don't know to which one. We could have ID like "Go to Workbench #123" and also on building menu "Workbench #123".


P.S. BTW its great game even it this early state. My 4 year old nephew already learnt how to play and love it. Factorio is still too complicate for him but Autonauts is just perfect. Watching how he is playing, I thing that games like this can be future in programming education in elementary schools.

Yes at some point we'll hopefully be adding a full script editor.

Yep we're working towards showing selected buildings. In fact you'll get a taste of that in Version 5 on Monday.

Monday already, thats nice to hear.
