Does someone know - how to choose ALL Specialist's?

Have already 10 spec, and they help a lot with collecting resources in my colony.
But click it one per one...it is pain for me.

(for example:
in a late game they stay everywhere, and if you try to select them with a frame through the all your colony, you will choose security/guards - whos can't collect resources)



P.s.
Dear dev's, if you really read it:

Could you add some popular comand like a Ctrl+1/ Ctrl+2 - for Group of Specialist
Or
Give for us Hot Keys buttons - for сhoosing all specilist in your colony please.

With best regards, your old fan,
whos already bought 2 copy in a differnt stores of this real cool game^^
 
Its a pain yes and I do hope we can select multiple specialists just from their icons later down the line.

What you can do for the moment is all send them to one point on the map. Do this on the lowest speed so they don't move faster then you can click.

Once there they will stand around for a few minutes before going back to what they were doing giving you time to drag a box around them to highlight multiple.

This works fine on a console so would be easier with Mouse and Keyboard I assume.

Hey all!

Indeed at the moment there is no way of selecting multiple from the Specialist bar - you can only use the box selection system in the colony. But I will forward this request to the rest of the team - we are looking into ways of better utilize the Specialist selection bar in other ways as well, so hopefully we can implement something like this at the same time. No promises or guarantees though!

Thanks for your post and of course, thanks all for playing!

Ctrl+select on their portraits for fine-tuning a selection, or Shift+select start and end for the contiguously arranged portraits would do well enough for me.
But if you devs have better ideas of implementing it...I'd like to be able to select just the Fighters or just the Scavengers (thus the Ctrl+select) and a Select All when they're all scattered about the colony, and not in one spot to be able to do a box+select on the whole lot of them
 
>Ctrl+select on their portraits for fine-tuning a selection, or Shift+select start and end for the contiguously arranged portraits would do well enough for me.

yeah, i tried the same)
and thats right - this way popular mechanic can be integrated
 
Day 3, life hack 7:
and how we called - manual using of a...feature/?)

If you will move your camera from left to right, or another way - but important do it on a keyboard buttons, not a mouse moving,
you can block Auto changing camera when you will click to toolbar of Spesialist^^
This helps to get all your Specialist in a one place, Without jumping of your camera 10 times from point to point
(need to hold the camera moving button, and in This time - click to toolbar of Specilist)


I'm so glad to find this way! and hope it is help to all this guy's in a topic, who have the same problem
as minimal - for waiting correct way from developers)

Now i'm finally udnerstnad what u talking about, just surprised that you decided to ask my permission avout it.

and as I right, you're one of team, not just an active forum user, community manager maybe?
 
Nope! Just an active forum user. Who memorized a few tags. And knows a few things about consistency.

In any event, getting a title such as moderator or community manager is not my call to make.
 
Heya!

So just to be clear, we can of course consider implementing such a change, but I cannot give any guarantees or promises for this - only that we will consider it. I do understand where you are coming from with these suggestions, selecting multiple specialists can be quite a hassle!

But so no promises or guarantees, so please do not expect this to be included in the next patch or so! :)

Yeah, I understand that not everything is easy to implement, what seems to players from Our side,
and understand a part about your roadmap and work plan's.

it's just a wish from the player,
or fidbeck about a problem that prevents comfortable play.
How to implement and When - we will trust your experience.

P.s.
But did't understand a part about where I came from...
i from this planet, i'm promise^^
