    He's pointing out that T1 submarines include the category T1SUBMARINE, T2 submarines have the category T2SUBMARINE, but the T3 submarine doesnt have a category T3SUBMARINE. Depending on the reason for wanting it, you could still achieve something similar by looking for units that contain both the TECH3 category and the SUBMERSIBLE category, while if you wanted to then exclude the t3 nuke subs you could exclude the category NUKE.

    LMFAO I got to this post by following OP's profile from a random link when I was googling something random. What a notorious troll.

    @Sainse Technically - the game can use up to 4GB of memory - but - due to the way that lua handles memory, the limit is about half of that. At some point, the number of units becomes the main reason that memory usage grows to that point (around 2GB) - and it will then simply crash to desktop. The size of the map, and the number of units in the game, and to a lesser degree, the number of wrecks and props, contribute to the overall memory usage, for the main part. After that, the AI (and the number of them involved) plays the largest role in how memory is used up.

    Since there are some unfrequent changes to the gpgnet protocol, old versions would not work with the current FAF lobby server. Thus you will not find official support for running old versions. In theory, if you start an older replay, all the files of that replays patch level get installed. But you cannot play online via FAF, but would have to play via LAN or some other solutions. I don't know to which extent this is currently possible.

    The exact reclaim numbers are not really doable because the map generator doesn't know the reclaim values of the props

    @Jip said in Engies Clean/Reclaim Mod: @arma473 This particular value is in the engine. I do not think the solution here is to change the behavior for all players. Instead, if you just want to reclaim and share it with allies - just write/request a UI mod that you can toggle on/off to start sharing resources automatically (via gifting it programmatically) at a click of a button when your mass reached say 70% of storage. I do not think such a mod is against the rules that only mention auto clickers and reclaim macros. But you can always ask the moderators before trying to implement it. Wouldnt that ruin the gameplay for other players though? For example early gameplay, if you have that toggle on and your teammate is reclaiming as well but can't spend the mass due to not having power? I know in setons if you get too much mass as an air player, it will ruin your build (quite literally).

    @blade_walker That I have no issues with. Not sure how hard it would be to implement though. Probably pretty hard. And doesnt seem likely to get used a lot by players tbh.

  • Should T3 Mass Fabricators Be More Efficient Than T2?

    Eco Compendium by Cheeseberry I don't think T2 fabs are far more efficient: For eco efficiency: T2 mass fabs have the same efficiency as T3 fab grids unless they're placed without shields adjacent to T3 pgens, a template which is very vulnerable to random bombers/arty/novax/tele and not dense at all. For space efficiency, T3 fabs win by a long shot (1.77x denser, and cleaner templates with pgen adjacency). This also means they are way easier to shield, with high HP on top of that. For adjacency efficiency, T3 fabs are great next to 2xT3 factories and T2 fabs are great on mex, with roughly equal payback time efficiency. T2 fabs on mex are more common because it's a lower investment cost and factories fit for t3 fab adjacency are rarer than mex with storage. The differences in payback time are in a matter of seconds so I don't think there is a clear winner for which is better to eco with since the remaining differences are about T3 fab durability vs T2 fab low cost/unit (easier to build a small amount of and start paying back a little quicker). For the other non-eco points: I don't think there is a big "consistency" issue with T2 fabs being T2. Lower tech units/structures are often cheaper and more efficient but less dense, and that doesn't mean they become completely obsolete when higher tech appears. Some examples: T1/T2 PD, T2 shields, T1 arty, T1 air scouts, T1 engineers, navy, T1 bombers, T2 gunships, mex upgrades, T3 units (compared to T4s), flak. T2 fabs fit into this pattern just fine. Making T2 fabs obsolete would be lame and taking out a dimension in how people can eco. Plain downgrade in gameplay.

    seems like a lot of steps for a few lines that may be on screen for ten seconds, I play in windowed mode so I could just copy, minimize, paste in a second, and enjoy the salt in all languages, I have tried the phone thing but like phong says its not the easiest toption.

    Sure, you can dive into that. I don't have a source on how the trueskill mechanism works though. Maybe someone else can point you to that. Regardless, I doubt that the issues you raise warrant any major changes to the system. It's such a niche case in which it hampers player enjoyment. To make the leaderboards more complex to cover that, doesn't seem proportionate to me.
