Suggested Feature: Development Lab Queue

[grmagne]

In online leagues we sometimes get an issue where offseason sims are 7 days long, but development lab programs are 1 day from completion. That means after the next sim the AI will fill in all the programs and the player has no ability to select what they want.

Would it be possible to have a queue of players & programs, so that when one group finishes it picks up the next group of valid options from the queue?

Bumping bc this is a great idea

I agree; this sounds like a good add-on. Even for players who sim every day it's going to be easier to load up a dev lab once and then mostly forget about it for the rest of the offseason.

Yep, this sounds like a perfect quality-of-life improvement for us GMs.

Can we throw in a reminder at the start of the offseason too? I have the nasty tendency to forget and then I don't have enough time to run a short program in spring.
