      Might be me but the latest changes seem more than annoying and breaks the game play. Units like the tempest being able to be construction units, the game has always allowed and had them, why fix, change or break it now? Other notable change the unit hover to build mass extractors and hydro, and the latest removal double clicking an engineer on a mass to get storage around it. Can understand the problems with the "hover" ability but not for the dblclick to place storage. Could be wrong but thought the release notes mentioned fixes for game stability... How about not messing with the game and put it back to the original... The game got popular and i never remember having as many crashes and desyns as it appears there are now a days...

        Please check the game options, as mentioned in the changelog. They're all there. But now fully customizable, to your liking:

        What is broken about this? The community wanted proper functioning mobile factories, and now they have them.

        Desyncs are not related to patches, but likely due to (sim) mods being out of sync. If you experience a crash then please enable the FAF Debugger:

        And report back with your logs. Personally my game never crashes, and I know that it is the same for many others. The most common culprit for game crashes is sound errors. When you share your game logs then maybe we can find out why your game crashes so often 🙂

          Which original? The t1 mass fab farmer gameplay of supcom, the t1 transport com bomb gameplay of steam fa, or the litany of things such as -10 asf fights/invulnerable ACU exploits/resource generation exploits in preceding FAF versions?

              As an intermediate thought, what about a button to select the child factory (like pod platforms have)? Would that solve (what I assume) is the problem with the Czar/Tempest, where there's not a good place to put the factory at the "back" of the unit?

                I tried to implement that, but to no avail. Not sure why the implementation of the pods work, and not sure why mine did not work

                edit: missed your second sentence.

                Tempest does have a separate factory unit at the back. CZAR doesn't have a back or front, and you're right - that is why it doesn't have it at the moment.

                    Imagine clicking at the center of a Czar and not selecting the unit to move😆

                        Another hotfix is released. It primarily fixes how beam weapons interact with tech 1 and tech 2 naval units. You can learn more about it on Github

                                  @greenfly and you'll then be able to build your armada while sending it to your opponent.
