To pause a production order in Ashes of the Singularity II, open Production Orders, find the unit order you want to delay, and use its pause option. The selected order stops consuming production resources and other queued orders can move forward. Use this when one unit can wait and the pipeline has work you need sooner.
Open the Production Orders list
The developer’s production feedback update describes the Production Orders panel on the right of the HUD. Open the detailed list and find the order by its unit and assigned army. Active orders appear at the top of the list.
Pause the selected order
Use the pause option for the order you can afford to delay. Then check the pipeline again to see which other order moves forward. For example, if a unit destined for a backline army can wait, pause that order and check that the work your frontline army needs is advancing.
If your only goal is to move a specific unit to the front, the same interface documents a separate priority option. Priority changes the selected order’s place in its pipeline, while pause stops the selected order from using resources.
Distinguish an order pause from a match pause
The production action applies to an order in the queue. A skirmish pause concerns the match itself. If the battle is continuing but a particular unit is using resources you want to free, manage that unit’s order in Production Orders.
FAQ
Does a paused order continue to consume resources?
The developer update says it stops consuming production resources while paused.
Will the rest of the pipeline keep working?
Other queued orders can advance after you pause the selected order. Check the pipeline to see what is active.
Is priority the same as pause?
Priority moves an order to the front of its pipeline. Pause puts an individual order on hold so other work can proceed.
