I agree, lower rated player here, upgrading isn't that annoying i need a mod for it, I only sometimes forgot in the heat of battle, but that's another low rated player problem. With mexes that are close toghether you can upgrade all mexes, pause them, and let engineers assist them to upgrade them sequentially. And like rnxxs said there is a usefull hotkey for selecting lowest tech mex.

I fail to see how upgrading mexes to t2/t3 can be hard and too much. You only need to select which one you want to upgrade and click the button. On the other hand, if you said that building storages around mexes is too much, that would be a good point yes, but not this

With a template building storage around mexes isnt that hard to do

you can bind a key to select the closest lowest mex.
then you press the upgrade key.
do it as many times you can afford/want.
isn't that easy enough?

well you can upgrade mexx with 1 click in eco mod. that reduce a lot the micro required in macro-management.
i'm not sure why people complaining about ecoing taking lot of time. I bet my micro-management + army positioning = 70% of my apm; and ecoing + base stuff = 30%.

It would be nice to reduce the amount of clicks required, but showing numbers which mex will upgrade first won't do that either. And to completely automate ecoing with 1 hotkey is too much.

Sequentially upgrading MEXes

2015-08-27T19:42:31+02:00

there is a mod "V2 FA Sequentially upgrading extractors V4" in vaults

what about implement it into FAF when it still work? Can you imagine how much this could be usefull for lower rated players(like me) to handle lot of MEXes?

MEX management need too much attention and it is really annoying when you have lot of MEXes and have to eco up
come on this is real time STRATEGY and not real time ecowhoring
( there is more ways to make ecoing more enjoyable though )

----------------
could have two improvements:
1)it could show which mex will go upgrade first, second, third,... by small number near MEX ( just to show upgrading order)
2)shortcut for this
----------------
