... got a parent folder from extracting the archive and didn't check when putting the mod in
fixed and works like a charm

tested with 3682 patch no other mods were enabled

I just did what you did and works for me

Mods/Hotbuild Extra Buildings/hook/lua/keymap -- this is how folder structure should look

- t2 land suport fac
- t2 air suport fac
- t2 navy suport fac

Upgrades: (F key - I think) - was empty so why not fill it up

Edited to remove download link as Zeren is author and that version is better. The hooked unitkeygroups lua needs to be modified to delete energy storage for patch 3682 (which has been integrated into FAF hotbuild).

been trying it. i must say that mass storage next to T1 mexx is pain in the ass. i've been building T1 mass storage when i wanted T1 mexx (un-zoomed). (and tbh no one need this hotkey because of template)
energy storage is good addition, allow to free 1 hotkey. Only thing that is kinda weird is that it isn't fix through all the tech level of engie/com. need to press 3 times the hotkey for T1 engie, but 4 times for a T2 engie... can be disturbing in game when you have to build an emergency e storage.
actually i never build T2/T3 assist factory so can't tell much here. (only upgrade T1 to T2 and T2 to T3; rare occasion is when i've too much mass, and no mexx to upgrade)

edit : i've remove the line about mass storage in the ui mod, it's already way better

You can also make following:

If there is no HQ, W will make a HQ
If there is one, W will make support facs.

I currently use a mod in the vault called hotbuildex that lets you create your own key binds for hotbuild, including adding new BP IDs and relinking the old ones to different keys. This includes a hotkey for highest support factory bound to alt-F, which is what you are describing. I have attached my game prefs and personal hotbuildex mod with my keybinds.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2injwyyx36je6 ... prefs?dl=0

Disclaimer, it needs you to open the key bind menu when you start a game, in practice this just means hitting f1 twice as you spawn.

Adding quantum gate is nice too.

My idea was to create an extra key for mass/energy storage, but putting them on mex/pg keys might be even better.

BIG thx for this! now I were able to improve it for my self, thx again

my change:
builders: (W key)
- t1 land fac
- t1 air fac
- t1 navy fac
- quantum gate

TMD: (T key)
-TMD
-SMD
-engi station

MassFab: (D key)
- t3 lan suport fac
- t2 land suport fac
- t3 air suport fac
- t2 air suport fac
- t3 navy suport fac
- t2 navy suport fac

I removed mass fabs, becouse I dont use T3 and T2 I have on template and engi station in TMD tab becouse why not
mass storage a power storage stay as CodingSquirrel did

I hope CodingSquirrel dont mind

The energy storage in pgens list is a good idea.

Agreed on the mass storage, I'm not personally going to use that key but I included it for completeness.

To be consistent with the existing hotbuild ordering I kept all of the tiers of a building type together. I based that mainly off of how the Sensors group works. It's all 3 tech levels of radar then all three (two) tech levels of sonar.
So that would be:
T3 L
T2 L
T1 L
T3 A
T2 A
T1 A
T3 N
T2 N
T1 N
QG

I agree it's not the most usable system, but I think it works just a bit better than the alternative. With your suggestion If you only upgrade Air that's what would come up first instead of land. So whichever way you slice it you're not going to keep a constant ordering.

The good thing though is that it's really easy to edit the ordering to your liking by modifying the buildingtab.lua file.
