I missed the start of the stream, (was an hour earlier than normal for me, time zone daylight issues I assume) good to know they answered a question on this, first one as well.  I asked a couple times late in the stream thought they were ignoring it again.  Paul responded to the overflow question in a way that he made it sound like he thinks it's already in the game (not the first time he's done that, which makes things so confusing) later in the video when he uses the soak command it's clear to see building and research overflow does not! exist yet in the build that they were showing.

He started to mention something in the shipyard, but then got distracted, then Brad came in and that was that.  Anyone understand what he was trying to say I've watched it a couple times now I've no idea.

Thanks Eviator, my feeling is he meant the latter as in 1 ship per turn becomes avaliable for the next 10 turns but you can then switch the planets production to something else i.e. non ships and still get those ships eventually since the 200 has been invested.  It would be an improvement I guess, no long term production waste (still short term though since you don't get them all immediately), it wouldn't help much with micro since what's the point in investing more production on purpose if you can only get 1 ship per turn.

I'd therfore still be compelled to stick 20 production in the shipyard (micro) and the rest on something else (buildings/science/wealth) and trying to select exact numbers with the pixel circle is a nightmare e.g. 20 when you have 157 production (more micro).  I personally think they'd still need to do more to lessen the micro somehow that the 1 unit/building per turn high production amount available seems to create.
