Is it possible to chain research and manufacture?

[Alpha Centauri Bear]

Sorry, if this was asked before but I didn't find anything on that.

Is it possible to chain research and manufacture in the way that after first item is done, all available specialists are assigned to the next project without the need to do it manually?
I.e. I want to give a plan to research/manufacture facility. Do this and then this and then this.
Then I would like to see that available specialists are assigned to the next item in information screen: the item A is done, available specialists are assigned to next item B.

No, currently not possible.

Would it be acceptable as OXCE feature? I may do something is very simple form: assign available specialists to next item in list by the creation order.

If at least a few people show some interest in it; and if the option doesn't disturb those who don't want to use it, sure.

But I don't think you can define a reasonable assignment algorithm.
How does it know how many scientists to put on how many next projects?
Let's say all 200 scientists just finished their work and there are 5 projects in the queue... should they all go to the first project, or to first two, or all five? And should they be split equally, or should the first project get more scientists, or something else?

IMO, the feature would just get people angry because it's not doing what they want.

Agree. That is why I am asking if anyone is interested.
I personally don't see it as a super important improvement. Completion popup allows player to reassign specialists quite easily now.
