Build several fields, etc. at once

[Nineworlds]

As well as the single building mode, where you click and place a building, then the pointer returns to normal, I'd like there to be a mode for building that keeps the currently-selected type active, so that there's no returning to the menu to get additional buildings. This would be particularly useful for fields and wells, but some people might want to do chains of other buildings as well.

One method would be similar to the tools like format painter in Microsoft Word: single click applies once; double click on the tool applies until you click the tool button again or press escape.

With a build queue set at 3 (9 if use a lof of gems!), I can't see any point. As soon as 1 build entry becomes available, you fill it with 1 field anyway.

I expected the game to allow us to hold down shift while we place multiple buildings of the one we have selected but sadly it don’t. They are partially addressing this problem on the test servers though as we can pin the building list menu to our screens. This will at least make it a bit easier to reselect wheat fields and wells over and over rather then having to go through an extra click each time to get to the building we want to place again.

They may yet still improve upon building techniques later on, after all this is a beta game.
It would be nice to have it like upgrading buildings, where they aren't included in the building queue but rather have a percentage above the construction, perhaps this could be known as replenishing?

did you visit test /staging server recently and tested the new building interfaces (the one they posted about on the main settlers page as a news item.....?

guess not..

building interface can be pinned, at which time the wanted building menu stays pinned up and you can quickly mouseclick multiple building commands
