      Hello everyone,

      I think I've finally found the cause of the missing death animation. My initial idea was probably the correct one. However, the adjustment needs to be made so that the Seraphim Water Factory also gets its death animation back.

      Here is the file that needs to be modified:
      5c18ca04-347a-4751-aaed-d85a0a430d33-image.png

      Here is my modification, which is included in the mod, so you can test it. I have expanded the category selection to include the class "mobile" so that only ships are affected by the function.

      If you encounter any other bugs, please let me know. I certainly hope you don't find any! ^^

        Unfortunately, your latest version in the vault crashes the game in campaign mode. I only had a quick test on Black Day - twice using mod that crashed both times, and once using without mod, didn't crash. Almost there mate....

          Thank you again for your feedback. Unfortunately, I hadn't tested the campaign before the last update.

          I've now completed two missions (using cheats) in quick test mode and was able to fix the bug. 🙂 I used "Black Day" and "Dawn" as test missions.

          Unfortunately, I've also encountered another bug. The FAF team is already investigating it, if I understood the post correctly.

          It involved a brief stutter when playing video clips in the game.

          ----- WARNING: SofDec bug: -----

          If you can, please repeat your test and hopefully you can complete it without any problems 🙂

            I had a quick run through of those two campaign missions you tested, and I had no problem my end. I didn't play the full missions yet, as initially, I wanted to see if they started first; which they did. Where as before, those two missions would crash while the mission was loading, before the cut away scenes started. So far, so good....

              You doing an awsome job.
              What you think about change the cybran Factory,T1 is ok but the t2+t3+HQ its kind not mush preety,i think was options made not from your time around.
              Im a 3D designer if you need something that i could help you im around.

              Design without project is just a mere coincidence

                Hi and thanks for your offer.

                Do you already have a rough idea of ​​what the factory should look like?

                My basic idea was to not stray too far from existing models. But of course, other ideas are very welcome.

                  Just some ideas. I would remove those arms (Yellow parts), maybe something simpler that still shows an evolution of the factory to a higher tech level, without losing the quality of the original design. The yellow parts are what I would remove, and the blue parts are just copy-paste from existing pieces so it doesn't require much work with new UVs and textures. These are just ideas.

                  The original concept its cool i think its just use it and rework

                    Thanks for your idea. However, I don't quite understand it.
                    Could you please explain it in more detail?

                    In my model, the parts you highlighted in yellow are designed so that they can be shaped. I didn't actually want to remove them, as they are an integral part of the overall appearance.

                    But hey, I'm curious to see what you come up with.

                    If you create a model, you're welcome to upload it via the mod.

                    It's created purely for comparison purposes.

                        Just in case I misunderstood ^^.

                        The mod that can already be used with the normal game is:

                        22cdb6b7-fbf3-4b80-a119-b4ccc130026f-image.png

                        The mod for tests and comparisons is this one:

                        fd000a44-85cd-4c4d-9735-fbb5bdcf518d-image.png
                        Sy, as I've mentioned before, my English isn't very good.

                              Hello everyone,

                              While testing the Co-op Missions sounds, I discovered a bug in the Factory Rework mod.

                              The bug occurred when the player attempted to take over enemy units. This was something I had never used for testing in a normal game.

                              I hope I've fixed it. I added the modified function to the Unit.lua file in the Seraphim Water Factories, instead of replacing the entire file in the mod. Here's another image for easier understanding.

                              previously
                              56016bca-48d1-4078-b513-9b1a01ab72a1-image.png

                              now
                              a538776f-4f03-415b-ad47-bb2b807ecc16-image.png

                              The file Lua/Sim/Uint.lua has now been removed from the mod.

                              If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please post them here.

                                I need your help

                                Hello everyone,

                                This will be my last post for this year.

                                I would like to complete this project for the redesign of the factories. Since there has unfortunately been little feedback on the factories in recent weeks, I will focus on the Aeon Land factory once again in what will be my last attempt for the time being.

                                However, I need your help in the form of your opinion.

                                The newly created model is okay, but many people would prefer the design of the model before the factories were rebuilt.

                                Here are a few pictures for comparison:

                                Model before the factory rebuild
                                03040a11-04f7-4cb8-a22b-a63f2f07e180-image.png
                                Unfortunately, I don't have a front view of this model 😕 (which would also give a better idea of its size).

                                Current design in FAF
                                3.jpg 4.jpg

                                Current design in my mod
                                5.jpg 6.jpg

                                Here are two approximations of the old design in two variants.

                                Variant 1
                                7.jpg 8.jpg

                                Variant 2, without the tower at the front
                                9.jpg 10.jpg

                                The difficulty with this model lies in its width. The side wings must not be too large, so that they do not protrude into other models.
                                11.jpg

                                However, this model is much easier to distinguish than the FAF & Mod version.

                                Here is the comparison
                                1.jpg 2.jpg

                                Now I would like to ask you once again to cast your vote or share your ideas.

                                You can find the models shown in the test mod:
                                SAVERS FACTORY REWORK + FAF

                                Without this feedback, I would currently leave everything as it is.

                                So please feel free to contribute your thoughts.

                                I wish you all the best for the coming year 2026 🙂 🖖

                                  I think the mod looks great and is an improvement over current ver., assuming it doesnt affect pathing

                                    Great work!
                                    Perhaps the current version and variant 2 are better gameplay wise because they allow to easier see whats beeing built.
                                    Are there any changes that effect the hitbox size (relevant for shielding, TML etc)?

                                        I'm assuming this is the Aeon HQ? In which case based on the screenshot I have a slight preference towards Var. 2

                                          @Yeager Thanks for your comment. The waypoints are not affected by the mod.

                                          With the possible exception of the water factories. However, this area is small, as only the building area has been increased by 2 places.

                                          At least I couldn't find any errors in the test.

                                            @Amygdala Thank you very much for your helpful comment. I haven't looked at the hitboxes in the mod yet. I'll do that 🙂

                                            Since the Aeon Land Factory was the smallest of all the factories, the shields should cover it. But I'll check that and fix it if necessary.

                                            Could you be more specific about which model you like better?
