After playing through the game the first time, I noticed that by the end of the game (and I wining) that I was not able to set my formers to Automate Mag Tubes line I can with roads, but I could still do individual mag tubes. Did I miss something?

I'll look into this on Tuesday. A lot of people are mentioning this, so you're not missing anything obvious.

Let me add this: I'm able to use Cntl-T to build specific roads, and I've noticed that under the 2.0beta patch that the formers will start laying some magtube on their own. First things folks should check is to see whether they have formers set so they can build roads/tubes on auto.

Let me add that this is before applying the 2.0 patch. I wanted to finish my first game before applying the patch in case it broke my save game. Could this already be fixed in 2.0?

I get the same problem, with the beta 2.0 patch (Sid Meier's Beta Centauri?).
But, according to some users in the "troubleshooting" forum, the keyboard shortcuts *do* work--shift-alt-t for "auto-build tubes", control-t for "build tube to". I haven't tested this myself yet, though (I'm at work now).
