if you could make something like this that would be great http://reactoridle.com/

since we can only have one map in a game, we could just use a big 40x40 or 80x80 start out with only 5x5 or smaller playable and make it expand since that is a thing that works here.

Sort accidentally disappeared into the aether there for a bit; real life is a thing sometimes. Might be able to get one or two other mods in before I disappear to America for a month, but I have also said that I'll get a major BrewLAN release out before I go, and I'm having t-shirts printed for some promo stuff, at least two of which will be getting worn on the stream for the L4D speedrun during winter AGDQ next January. So that's a thing.

Also, Saxxon, I was crazy enough to make that other guys firebeetle launching Scathis during this thing, so Othuy launcher isn't a fair stretch.

Guess I hit this a bit late.

As you recall I had made a request/recommendation on your Seraphim Experimental Artillery unit to turn it into a Lightning Cannon - Uthouy hurler. Main thing as we had discussed was how to scale the Uthouy produced so as not to be extremely overpowered. It should be fairly inaccurate since the Uthouy themselves have a wide area of effect. It would function as a high level area denial weapon.

The idea of a Ferris Wheel chucking lightning balls every 20-30 seconds fits in with the other Seraphim tech, ie the Lightning Tank T3 AA

________________

Something you might also look at, that T3 repair boat you got to work, having something similar for the other factions. I know there was a naval mod that had a Regen Field Ship for the Seraphim, by the time I played with that mod that part didn't seem to work due to FAF changes.

without blackops it was never possible to build higher tier factories. This is ofc not possible in FAF either by restricting the support factories.

you could just make a new tech tier something like highTech after t3 stick those units in there.

By ui I meant that it doesn't have to be a restriction per se, but just hiding the icon from the list would be a ui thing, would it not? If it doesn't appear anywhere then the user can't activate it, thus it causes what a restriction would. And being a ui mod, it would be possible to use it in ladder too.

I forgot. Since I found that I never went without it. But even without it, it just makes sense that factories can be built like that.

Mod that will change restrictions will not be ui but sim. Which you wont be able to play with in the ladder.

And for custom games you can just enable that restriction when hosting. So no need for a mod in this case

If it can be achieved with a unit restriction setting, then I suppose a ui mod would suffice.
As far as I know personal ui mods are allowed /work in ladder too, however lobby-set restrictions exist only for custom matches.

If you dont like the support factories, you can just put a build restriction for them and play exactly like before "engymod".

As I understand HQs are just like normal factories in VanillaFA, and the Support Factories are the special stuff that's basically useless without an accompanying HQ, and last I checked they can't even be converted into HQs.. which doesn't make sense, but whatever (unless they can already do that - I haven't played faf for a long~long time).

I request a mod that, if not for all partakers then at least for the mod user, restricts all support factories for all "currently-owned" builders, and allows (those/such) builders that can make a Support Factory to be able to make the corresponding HQs.
So, all T1 engy & T1 acu & acu drones could make the t1 factories, all T2 engy & T2 acu could make the t2 hq factories too, all T3 engy & T3 acu & sacu could make the t3 hq factories too. This way the user would be able to own a SupFactory only if it captures one or gets shared/gifted.

This hq-support factory was originally the engy mod, if I remember correctly. I tried it and hated it. Then it got permanently integrated into faf and I still hate it enough to not play with faf.

I know such a mod would be a handicap (in factory costs) for whoever uses it, like I would be all the time, but wouldn't care about it.

Fix Rel Nuke Mod 1.46? I don't think it works anymore Neat concept too, makes nuke damage not instant, instead it damages as the wave spreads out, more realistically.
Couldn't remember where I downloaded it from, so I just uploaded to my googley drive.

So, to take stock:
Exotic_Retard wrote:1. t2/3 artillery - add a barrage mode to it
Spoiler: show
t2 - 3-5 shots in clip -3-500mass per shot
an extra weapon with special shots - that load like a missile silo and can be fired rapidly if needed.

t3 sera - 3-5 shots in clip - 1000mass per shot

the interesting one is the sera t3 arty which launches a lightning storm, but it uses all its ammo in one shot. the more ammo used, the stronger/longer lasting it will be.
it should be stopped by shields though

So like, shotgun artillery mode? I might have a go at this one maybe. It's the kind of thing that seems like it might take longer than it's worth.
.

How i imagine this on codewise is:
- Create new projectile that is identické as t2 artilery shot but cost 500m e bt
- add silo on artilery where can build new artilery projectile
- Add new weapon slot on artilery that have manual launch as tml but its artilery projectile
- Setup reload time on new projektil on 0.5s (so can be fire very fast)
- Enjoy mass destruction of Triple salvo of 5 arty firing at once

What dont know how to do is corectly setup new weapon with manual launch

How i imagine T3 sera artilery projectile codewise:
- Add silo with max 5missile
- Create 5 new projectile, that will do 1dmg and realse ion storm on field, where each is stronger version of ion storm
- Add special code that will use stronger version of projectile depend on number in silo.
- Add special code that will nulifi silo after every use
- Have no clue how let it explode on shield border and not let Pass

make a new OC system for the next patch (details on request - maybe a bit more work than 2 hours)

Improve formation move, so units don’t walk back to meet with late units before going forward, increase the speed of units in formation move (i believe current factor is 0.8 of normal speed to allow units to go around corners in formation, maybe 0.9 or 0.95 will be good enough - or its possible to only slow down the formation if units are falling behind, but keep the full speed once all units are in the formation)

Improve hotbuild to allow a third bind on normal keys (qwerty) if no factory/builder is selected. E.g. currently W gives a factory if an engy is selected, and an engy if a factory is selected. Make it select something (ACU for example) when its pressed while nothing is selected.

Make zooming height when double pressing control groups adjustable (like its possible for the zooming height for the zoom-pop hotkey)

Minimap should be on top of other UI elements

Improve transport loading process for big armies

transfer half built missiles when a silo is given to ally

So one thing at a time, what's this OC system?
