Well, the supply system would be OK if it worked as expected. I have
nothing against automation per se. It usually makes games more playable.
But some player control of the supply system wouldn't hurt, either.
As for transport of materials, it's an interesting idea. We would have to
wait for the PLAN_TRANSPORT to be in place, though. I think it would be
hard to get this to work without better transport code.
