I LOVE this tool, its so useful and fun.

Could you add an option to FORCE worker production? The computer treats workers as filler, so commands like:

Barracks, then Tech Lab on Barracks, then Marauder[5]

often cut workers, rather than working the TL and Marauder builds into constant worker production.

There is a problem when you want to allocate CB's to the same item but non-consecutively. If I want to CB Warpgate once, then a Stalker a bit later, then another on Warpgate, there is no mechanism for that that I can find.

Also, was the 3-5 second automatic mining loss per structure ever implemented?

Great work!

Is it possible to cancel a building while it's getting built. I'm trying to see how it impacts my game to cancel my expansion as Zerg but I don't see any ways to cancel it while it's building.

Thanks for your great work!

@SlyBeetle: Yes, warpgates take 5 seconds to build units (including DTs). They also spend time cooling down before they can be used again.

Where is kill-command?

Yeah, you can use the hash symbol (#) to add comments, like:

For a complete list of units, structures, upgrades, morphs and abilities, please refer to this list. If you are trying to do something other than building, please check the single line examples for the syntax of the other commands. The syntax is not case-sensitive, but it is very specific in the spelling.

WTF?

Fatal Error: Maximum Execution time of 1 second exceeded in
/home/vhosting/y/vhosting0038687/domains/sc2calc.org/htdocs/www/build_order/income.php on line XXX

What does this mean? Any help please thank you

Also, why doesn't it allow for constant unit production...
I had 2 rax 1 with tech making stim, 1 with reactor
Its like it cannot do stim and make marines at the same time...
Maybe make it so the build order tells you which structure the units come out of SCV #1 Marine #2 Medivac #1 etc etc

The best way to force worker production is to write out your build order in more detail. I just want to add that the calculator is designed to calculate the timing for a given build order, not to find the optimal order in which to build stuff or to figure out how much you can get away with. Back to your question, a better example would be:
12 Barracks, then Tech Lab on Barracks
...
18 Marauder
22 Marauder
...
etc.

Er... let me think about that one. Ok, done thinking. I added a command for building and immediatelly cancelling a building. Feel free to suggest a different syntax, this is just what occurred to me:
9 Overlord
13 Spawning Pool
13 Fake Hatchery (<--- that builds and cancels the hatchery, refunding some minerals in the process)

Got it. Fixed all three of those. And I added the kill-command. To kill off some Marines, just write:
22 Kill Marine [4]
It doesn't actually check whether you have built them Marines, so feel free to kill as many as you like.

I have absolutely no idea why you would say that. I checked and rechecked, and building a Stalker subtracts 125 minerals.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I haven't been able to get around coding much lately, but I have not abandoned the project.
