<![CDATA[Problem with templates, can anyone help me?]]>I am brand new to FAF and only have a small amount of experience with the game via Steam as well. I do know the basic use of templates however, and I can't get them to work in FAF except in one specific way and only with the ACU.

I can start a new map, single player, and have my ACU built 2 T1 power generators, then select them both, click the "save template" button, then click on my ACU and click the fifth tab "build templates" and the template will be there. However, immediately after that i can click on any engineer of any teir and when i click on their "build templates" tab, nothing happens, I mean that whatever build options were there before clicking on the fifth tab, they stay exactly the same. this happens no matter how i test the engineers and building and saving, nothing changes when i click their 5th tab and i have no idea why. So I effectively can't use any templates.

Can anyone help me fix this or tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

SO, i click instead on a simple energy storage and THEN the templates show up! is that normal or whats going on there? At least I ahve some functionality now, clunky though it is.

Well I think I did that since it works for the ACU, I believe I checked that setting also.

You have to activate the build templates in the settings, if you haven't done it yet.

If you want some more guidance, feel free to join the FAF Dojo.
