Automatic unit production

[lbores]

AI does stand for Automatic Idiot when it comes to unit production. If I make the mistake of putting only a unit in the build queue, that base will cheerfully crank out the same unit, unit after unit unless I catch it. To prevent this, I usually insert a single-time build (facility) after the unit or Energy Save.

Isn't there some way to turn off this tendency to keep constructing units if there's no facility build after the unit?

No, but you can set the game to warn you everytime a unit/facility is produced which is helpful in stopping/monitoring your production. I believe it is under game preferences in the pop-up menu on the left.
