    Hello, Based on the review and feedback from @nory, I initially implemented three adjustments: Fixed an issue in the LOD1 model of the Seraphim T2 Land Factory, as it did not match the LOD0 model. Mistake: [image: 1779710145352-35.jpg] Fix: [image: 1779710149590-36.jpg] Added an additional indicator to the Cybran T2 Naval Factory. This adjustment also required further changes to the animations of the T1 to T3 HQ factories. Current:[image: 1779710220364-33.jpg] New:[image: 1779710261644-34.jpg] Fixed minor issues in the build animations of the Cybran Land Factories from T1 to T3, which caused unintended movement of the construction arms. Since these adjustments are no longer part of the mod, they can only be viewed in FAF’s test mode. However, these changes are not immediately available yet, so the screenshots will have to suffice for a first impression for now. After that, I will take another look at the Aeon Land Factory to see what further improvements can be made.

    If I’ve understood you right only shield bubbles overlapping the aoe of a shot take damage? Which sounds similar to steam/non-faf implementation which would make stacking shields much more powerful and hence make turtling more powerful.

    @Firv said: the biggest problem is there arent enough people in matchmaking for a system like that I get that the player numbers are declining. And I get that shrinking the range I can match against means that I will have to wait a lot longer for a game. But that game will be awesome and worth the wait. Also... if you just want to get into a game, and you don't mind bashing a noob, or getting bashed by a god, then you can choose to open up your range. The thing about making it an option in the client is that you get to choose. You can even alter it depending on your mood, or the time of day, or what you ate for breakfast.

    @Sheikah Thanks for the clarification. As said before, it's just what I've heard from folks being in charge of the pools, who might not have the best understanding how the architecture looks like. How much effort would that be? Would it be somewhat feasible?

    Hello, there is a "Tester" role in the discord currently, but not sure how it's being used. I would say, balance changes could be released towards the FAFDEV Game mode for a few weeks to gain feedback before they are actually pushed to the regular game.

    You could do it with that + manual blur effects, but that's a lot of work - even the given example in the link is not very well made. There are trees and pillars that have 3 levels of blur, which wouldn't happen with tilt shift (you'd essentially get Z-axis dependent blur, while in the example image it's Y-axis).

    I agree. An idea is worthless, but the time of the people who put in the work to make it happen is. I'm making what's called a mod myself, with my own vision. Some people like it, some don't—that's their choice. But no one should rush into making mods based on someone else's ideas. The game is currently well-balanced, enjoyable, and doesn't have the problems you're trying to solve with your ideas. Also, you could simply make some minor changes or ask the Discord community for help, where they might be able to teach you how.

    @IndexLibrorum said: Ideas such as these are best worked out as a mod. It is exceedingly unlikely any such changes will be made to the default game. I suspect I don't have much time left before FAF ends up on the "undesirables list"; the EA and Ubisoft launchers were recently "isolated." So I'll slowly lay out all my thoughts. If you like anything, I'll be happy.

    There was little confidence that the balance team would agree to the integration in its original form. Perhaps some enthusiasts will like it, with the subsequent creation of a separate mod partially implementing the idea.

    Idea: Advanced adjacency of six storages with one extractor. And extractor overload.

    As stated above, this will only speed up the transition to T3 because it is always more profitable to equip a mass extractor with storage facilities, even if, in your case, this will cost additional energy. This doesn't solve the problem of quickly transitioning to T3; in fact, it exacerbates it, because more mass means a faster transition to the really killer things and ignoring those units that quickly lose relevance. If you want to make the transition longer and make T1-T2 units last longer, you can create a mod to increase the transition time to T2 and T3, respectively. Besides, I play a modpack that implements this; it has a really long ramp-up to T3 and truly huge armies of T1 and T2 units. You can check out my thread.

    Okay, I realized this isn't what I need. At least, it's not suitable for the main part of the sessions.
