For the love of god, please make it optional if for what ever reason this gets implemented. The amount of stuff that this can make go wrong is just stupid. This will literally fuck up 100% time at the beginning of the game, and even later on. To the point it might be even game losing considering the way it will waste resources by starting to automatically produce something that's not needed, only cuz it was close to another factory....

The game "Ashes of the Singularity" has a heat map - though it works differently. That game's heat map is shown as a radar-type of thing. The more enemies in an area, the brighter and "hotter" the heat on the map is. If it's minimal, then it's practically translucent. Perhaps, if there is little to no reclaim, the player doesn't see much of a heat signature but after a navy battle, the player sees a bright signature? Zooming in to finally see the actual numbers could be a thing as well. This could be offered as a 3rd option for reclaim. First being standard, 2nd being batching, and 3rd being a heat map. I do like the idea of a heat map as it won't clutter up a player's view if there is a lot of reclaim. ~ Stryker

Oh didnt know about the cache, thats nice. Yeah in that case downloading it early should not be a problem.

To whoever is interested in applying (Ftx, Suzuki, Fancias, Morax, others), go over to this thread and apply! https://forum.faforever.com/topic/1589/player-councilor-election-2021

do you want live casters or would me doing casts of games after the fact work? Live casters is the preferred format, since they'll have a full livestream and record at the same time.

@nine2 Translated the op. Приветствую русское сообщество FAF. Совет хотел бы наладить контакт между русскоязычным и англоязычным сообществами FAF. У вас много народа, поэтому мы хотели бы, чтобы вы присоединились к нам в играх и турнирах, а также помогли в программировании и организации FAF’а. Нам нужна ваша помощь в создании русской версии новостной странички. Для этого нам требуется nodejs разработчик. Планируется добавить на страничку поддержку нескольких языков, возможно для этого потребуется внести изменения в Wordpress и Java клиент FAF’а. Кроме того, нам нужен переводчик. Его задачей будет еженедельный перевод новостной страницы на русский язык. Возможно, потребуется немного изменять слова в постах, чтобы они лучше помещались в ячейках новостной страницы. В среднем это будет занимать у переводчика около 3 часов в неделю. Требуется хорошее умение составлять тексты, надежность и профессионализм. Если вы заинтересованы в этом, заходите в наш дискорд. С уважением, nine2 и Совет

Slightly off topic but I've started doing Total Annihilation casts. Might be of interest to some people. Still a bit rough around the edges but I'm working up to doing larger matches. Venom's new PROmod is in beta at the moment which is quite analogous to what the FAF team has done. A pro balance of classic TA that's more of an extension of what went before than a total conversion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfjB4G_VIY0

First of all FAForever.com has a news hub, yes it requires you to click on the link which says news, but it allows the main page to be cleaner and more informative to the user. I imagine a good proportion of people who visit the website for the first time will get all the information they need and the little effects like "Currently hosting x number of players" or the Global map of players show new people that it is active, without pushing important information aside. More isn't necessarily merrier in this case. https://imgur.com/a/m8g7HMH I've linked the image above as I think that's the bigger issue at the moment. People get Supcom FA but don't get transitioned to FAF because they don't know what FAF is, let alone get to the website. Maybe its worth using the Official FAF YouTube to just go over what FAF is, where to find it, what are the features and other activity and put it as a feature video so people can come off watching their favourite Gyle video, or watching the Chris Taylor interview to find themselves watching some sort of tour/guide of the client and community where the client can be sold to people who have never heard of FAF before. All it takes is 1% of Yuri's or Gyle's uninformed Veiwers to see that and you have potentially over 1000 people informed about the client. This is my opinion on how things can be approached so feel free to scrutinise, personally though I think the website does a good job of selling the client. Getting people to the website may be a more effective use of your time at this moment. Quick other note, the Facebook page and patreon page also seem very lacklustre, Facebook just shares Gyle casts while the patreon hasn't had a post in over 3 years.

I think it is not about ddos anymore. It is rather implications of sanctions and Russia closing access to foreign websites.

There is also a mod in the vault called 'Selection Fix', which fixed the UI Party selection problem. Even though that doesn't appear to be the intended use, based on the vault description. It made UI Party usable for me.
