              The last one is terrible in certain situations when you wanna snipe something (transports/bombers), the 2nd is the biggest indirect nerf to submergible units ever.

                  yes, im just warning the others, also it might be annoying and sometimes forgettable to keep toggling it until you get used to it mb

                    Yep. That's why I added special cursors for each mode. 2 for reclaim and 1 for hard move. Left mouse button also disables HardMove btw.

                    Also I forgot to mention in start post that TML order can also be tweaked so it's placed only on the ground. But there should be 2 versions of it for sure, because sometimes you just zooming out and casually clicking enemy mexes with tml and it's very handy when orders snap to mexes.

                    Anyway, if someone want to use it now as default, just change 14 line in this file 'Mods\RUI\hook\lua\ui\game\commandmode.lua' to:

                    local selectTolerance = {RULEUCC_Attack = true, RULEUCC_Nuke = true, RULEUCC_Tactical = true}

                              @m00nshiner there is reclaim fix mod for those situations, use it once and it will fix reclaim order

                                    Yes, I used it on purpose, way back when, back before I used a keyboard shortcut to set up patrols. That was a thing that I did a very long time ago. It was easier than clicking on the patrol icon to set up a patrol.

                                      I just right click to create a patrol, so i don't need a hotkey for that and the mod can't remove that functionality anyway.🤷

                                        I am not sure that this mod's reclaim ability is responsible, but at one point during a game, I could only reclaim things and could not order anything else. Although, when it broke, the cursor icon did not have the green outline this mod uses. It was like this: when a unit is selected, if I hover the cursor above another unit, it changes to the default reclaim icon, and I can only reclaim; right click and ESC do nothing. I did change my E to this mod's reclaim before that happened.

                                          99.9% guaranteed that this mod is responsible for that. Luckily, we're integrating it and re-implement it entirely. You can see that here: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4705/upcoming-developers-patch

                                          And you can already give it a spin too, on the FAF Develop game type
