I am using OneClickWonder, really awesome thing.
Oh and I cannot play without Supreme Economoy v3 - it adds a small "U" below your Mex. Simply click on it to upgrade.

For some reason the vanilla SupCom music mod does not function properly. It seems to remove all peace-time music and then all battle-music is still the FA tracks.

If you are deleting the mods, I'd advise you to recreate your profile, to prevent saved settings from interfering.

GAZ_UI (and Hotbuild) has been integrated into FAF, you do not need to install it as a mod anymore.
In the options you can activate a lot of settings for increased unit stats and other info.

Supreme Economy v2 is the display on the left, which shows the 5 (?) biggest consumers of each mass and energy, grouped together intelligently.
Below that you can see your mexes, and in what state they are in, tech level, currently upgrading, surrounded by mass storage.
If you click once on the icons, you select one unit from the group, double click selects all, which you then can pause for example.
I couldn't play without it, super useful for avoiding and fixing stalls.

I also use UI mass fab manager (well, I have it installed. Very rarely a game goes to mass fab stage for me).

Those mods work together with no problems. I don't know the other ones.

What do "EcoManagerv1" and "Economy Tools FA" do?

And you may want to try Advanced Strategic Icons, it's nothing short of awesome: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2740

Assistance with UI mods.

2014-10-02T03:15:04+02:00

So I've been playing this game on and off for about 4 years. Over time I accumulated the UI mods I found most useful. Today however, I mistakenly decided to browse the vaults section and see if I could add any more useful ones. My greed has resulted in none of my old ones working any longer.

Therefore, I'm going to delete everything from my mod folder. if I'm going to start from scratch, I'd like some advice about what the very best players use.

Up until now, I used:
GAZUI 7 (Why is only version 6 in the vault?)
Moreunitinfo (I don't remember if this worked, or if it was GAZUI providing all the info I needed)
V2 FA Sequentially Upgrade Extractors
EcoManagerv1
Economy Tools FA
Supreme Commander Music
UI Mass Fab manager

Mods I tried to download yesterday... what are your tips on them?
Name stuff (I don't know how to use it)
Quick template (what does this do?)
Supreme Economy (2.1) no lag ( What does this do?)

And, are any incompatible with each other?
