Around the mexx

Postby ttsolo » 30 Jan 2013, 13:44

First, I'm french, so excuse me for my english, I will do my best :oops:

I'm sick of failling to dispose metal storages around the mexx ! Isn't it possible to create a button on mexx to auto build storages (or energy T1, or anything else usefull).

Perhaps something like this would be possible :
1. select the mexx
2. ask for metal storage by clicking a button on the mexx
3. wait for ingeneers to assist the mexx
4. construction of storages begin

what do you think about this ?

Do you use templates/patterns? it will make building of mass storages ~3.5 times easyer

one template has 4 storages, so it should be 4 times, but imo, with templates it is easyer to miss :D

So... take a deep breath, move your acu back, send you army to defencive positions, and start make mass storages around your mexes :P

Build a mass storage with 4 mass storage around it. Then you can place your storage by clicking on the mex rather than to the side of it.
