Templates don't save across factions

[Flynn]

If I make templates with UEF I can't use them with Aeon.

Technically, you can. You just need to find an Aeon engineer that can make UEF structures. There is none in the base game, but people on FAF play with a lot of mods, right?

But seriously, my solution to this is to start a 1-player game on the map "Gap of 64 ACUs" (where you get 2 ACUs from every faction) and use that to make every template, once per faction. Also, I turn the game speed to "adjustable" so I can grow my economy at +10 speed without doing a lot of micro. Then after a couple minutes I have a bunch of t2 mexes, t2 pgens, and some T3 ACUs from all factions, so I can build whatever I want. There is enough flat ground to make many templates.

Alternatively, you could learn how to use cheats to give yourself the stuff. And then, in your cheaty sandbox, make all of the templates 4x over.

Why did they change it from how it was? Never had to do this on previous versions of FAF.

ummm kinda makes sense cause each structure has a different id-code you are saving for the template it´s not the buildingtype you are saving ..

that´s specificaly the case with mods using multiple factions or when capturing tech of another faction in a game ..

i don´t remember that ever having been possible in FAF nor vanilla FA .. the easiest answer i imagine is flaws with coding if it was in ...

The update has wiped my templates. Or maybe I did when I deleted what I thought was a load of trash in my "documents" folder in Windows. Either way I made those templates back in 2013 so hell knows if I can remember if I made separate ones for every faction or not.

Hello Flynn,

please go to "Options -> Interface" and set "All Race Templates" to "On"

Then you can use your templates for all factions.

By the way, since the Cybran ED4 was made directly buildable via T3 suite, anything that contains it, cannot be used for any other faction. So if you want to include T3 Shield gens in your templates, you'll probably have to make a Cybran one and also another one, which will be used by the other 3 factions.

I I WAS remembering correctly then! Any reason why the updates disabled this by default?

I have this option enabled since ~5 years and it never changed.
