i dont like v3, because it shows engies working not engis idle. it shouldnt even be called idle engi mod it should be called busy engy mod...
anyone thinking like me? will there be engi mod v4?

Ok until someone decides to update the mod you can lift the ban on it yourself, go to Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods\idleEngineers
open mod_info.lua
and change this line uid = "b2cde810-15d0-4bfa-af66-ec2d6ecd561e" to something else, for example replace 'e' with 'f' whatever

This will allow you to use any banned mod in game, honestly I've been using this mod ever since FAF existed and haven't noticed any UI lag, don't know how slow your CPU needs to be.

I dont think I will push v1.3 to the mod vault because it has UI lag that occurs on computers with slow CPU when there are a lot of units in the late game. I'm working on v1.4 which fixes this issue and I will upload it when Im done (ETA 2-3 weeks)

I have only fixed mods that were on the vault. Anything else isn't in our system :/ Anihilnine, if you want to fix your mod to work with the upcoming patch, just run it against FAF Develop to find the errors. It's a 3 minutes find/replace fix, nothing tricky.

sigh ok. Thanks. Just so you guys know the latest version of UI Party is on the forum not on the mod vault. So if your "fixing it" then ... fix the latest version please.

Your mod wasn't ban for "messy code and performance impact". Only because there is a change in folder

Yes I'm interested in this as well, who has done the research in this matter and how big is the performance hit in % caused by those mods to warrant them banned.
