When setting up an outpost I like to place several projects and then let my engineers build them.
The problem is that engineers will go to lots of different projects. They will not work together to make things. Sometimes they build something to within one building material and then they would go one to another project.
I was thinking that if there was a list of all construction projects that we could sort into the order that we want them built in then when engineers are looking for a project they will take the next item on the list.

You could still direct them to work on different projects directly like know, but this would kick in when they were automatically looking for their next job.

This would also fix the problem of construct to far away from the Building materials source. If it is to far away often the engineers will get to the building materials resource and then stay there without going back to the project, or finding a new project.

If when they ran out of a specifically directed project they would check the list and go to that project it would be better.

This is a great idea! I do the same thing you do and my engineers are often swamped with work and build randomly. We could make a building queue for each outpost like we have crafting and research queues!
