Just a tip, while a mod that manages your economy will help you perform better right now, it will only harm you in the long run as you will never develop a feeling of the economy.

So. Question. What UI mods do you use, folks, in 2019?

@Durabys neither of those ever caused a ban. no ui mod can cause a ban. all ui mods are authorized for the simple reason it's impossible to prove you're using it.

May I ask some veterans what mods do they use nowadays? A lot of them of the great mods are either obsolete, non-functional or outright VERBOTTEN by the moderators.

I just finished my new PC and decided to give FAF a good revisit and damn a lot has changed. I will try some of the mods you guys use above to further enhance my experience, thank you!

I recommend "One Click Wonder" to build T1 Mexes and the Hydro only by hovering with the mouse over the symbols on the map.
It's very usefull if you don't use hotkeys to build things.

my updated modpack edited to fit together and up to speed with made-native-to-faf mods

Personal preference : I don't like the mass point UI overlay with black square and number (mainly because it glitches out and covers the whole screen ALL THE TIME) so I removed it entirely.

i mean, regarding this:

hopefully in the future UI party, notify, supreme economy em, and Economy manager all get combined to have less conflicts.

if you explain the conflicts I will do what i can. I know about the black screen one already.

the only conflicts those have is that both supreme economy em and Economy manager try to manage upgrade and factory and mass fab pause. one of the two should do it not both.
and also Economy Manager does a better version of notify's com upgrades text overlay
