The game now features a completely new unit designer. This time, rather than instructing the factory how to build the unit, the player is be able to design the unit by freely snapping modules together. This allows for a much faster and easier creation of complex units.
Check out the preview from last week to get an idea how it works:

Note: You can still use the old "Linear" unit designer if you wish. To switch to the old unit designer: go to Options -> Other -> Fabrication, and click the appropriate designer icon.
