it should work... differently. there was consensus that previous behaviour should be changed.

If repeat is on alt means build once instead of build now.

Ahh ok, i see. I didn't know that
But I have to say that I dont like it, that the current unit gets finished first if repeat is on and I queue another unit via ALT... But I am probably a bit late with this...

so is there new button that forces instant build of new unit like old alt did? I have to make flak asap when i see air, not in 1 min.

Yes, exactly the same here.
I think it works only if Repeat is disabled in the factory

. Addionally the queued stuff gets only build once which I like more than before.

You can cancel the current build after you've queued your flak...

or you could turn off repeat, alt-queue and turn repeat back on.

Does ctrl do anything? Why not bind build once to it?

hallelujah to the new behavior. it seems like it should be the obvious thing that happens.

It can be combined with "shift" to do +100. One of those commands that I never use, but I've seen it used in the place of "repeat". Nothing like inheriting a factory from a dropped player and finding that you have to clear out 1000 liches from their airfac.
Honestly, I'd be happy if it were repurposed, but there are probably those who'd complain.

I use ctrl to queue 20 all the time.
