Actually the first version of this mod took one day to put together... my first attempt at lua coding so cope with the really ugly / messy code. There's been some tuning also of course.

What probably should be done is a way to enable it to certain players in UI, right now the player names are hard coded in the mod.

actually i dont understand what all of you complain its jsut an share mod.... far away from cheating or so
looks like that mod just keeps sure if you start to produce more mass/energy than you need it get transfert to an specific palyer rether to the full team and is therfor juset usefull in a bigger teamgame. for example setosn where you maybe dont wana share your reclaim with the whole team, just with your friend. therfor it does not give any "unfair" Advantage.

and to come back the the massfab mod, that was usefull in vanilla as you got 300+ massfabs now in FA you hardly get moore than 2-3 fabs in the biggest games waht makes it pretty useless.

and whoever made this mod looks like it was a lot of work

It's an interesting idea, just didn't work out so well on Seton's. And mb some to complicated thinking when it comes to energy share since auto overflow (which is part of FA) works just as well mid/late game, while early game energy builds can be very situational.
For bomber rush on rush me more it is kinda cool, then again you can archive same by donating pgens, although that isn't as convenient and smooth.

Impressive how someone would work (hard) on a mod that is useless

Would it be possible to have some sort of option so that your lobby disables any mods of this kind so everyone in the game plays au naturale?

no. but it seems we are approaching unfair advantage territory here.

How is this different from making custom keybindings to give energy/mass functions with some logic behind it? Or does the mod automate the usage of the giving resources as well?

I think we'll publish it.
On the other hand the mod is just what V needs, an excuse for failure... now that tele SACU's got nerfed
Keep blindly ignoring that the mod is not active when I play alone :p (and isn't active anyway now)

show us the code.
we can help you fix it so you dont juggle around 120k energy needlessly.

Wow I watched a few replays with this guy. Now I understand why you're outraged Vmc .

Well I can't say I'm surprised anyway. Fits the character!

I don't think that's any reason for a ban , or even call that cheating. For me that's nothing more than a testimony to weakness. Let him do it, he needs it apparently!

Imagine what would happen if this is released to the community, the mod will continue to
improve. people will start to make improved 3/4 player versions (and probably keep it for
themselfes).

Bah, I do not like this at all, is this the direction that we want the game to go to ?

And all because you had a clever idea.

Throw it away, it worked while it lasted, be fair and play without it.

oh and btw. im not that good, im lazy, impatient and get bored soon. My APM is a joke.
So don't be too proud when im behind you and/or you defeat me. All I ask for is a fair
game.
