I asked Chat GPT for the best overal units in case of a war with another AI when humankind was extinct. Below the response. So is the Clown team our last hope and line of defense?

When will see the first AI using Video PreTraining and a Chat GPT4 like neural network?

Fixed: after the reinstalling EcoManager everything worked like expected. Right clicking mexes makes them upgrading again.

Before the big FAF upgrade of November I could right click mexes with an engineer to get them upgrading. This is not working any more. Any ideas how I can fix this?

@eternal is that mod compatible with FAF 3731 or still being maintained at all? The latest release is 5 years old and this forum has only 1 post about it stating that the mod has bugs and need hard codes adjustments to get it working. Is it safe to install such a thing or can it mess up my whole game/pc?

@ftxcommando My question is not about the discussion if it needs to be unique for the situation but how do you do it as efficient as possible so you have more APM left for attacking, defense or casting.

@askaholic will collect the client.log files. Where do repot them to?

What I found out is that the 'no response' pop-up shows up after at least 2 minutes of inactivity. If the game takes more then one minute to load you will miss the next starting cycle. And thus wasted at least 6 minutes.

@arma473 I think I was not really specific with my question. I am looking for the tips that makes a scaled, targeted eco that is in pace with the map design and events on the map use as little APM as necessary.

When I watch Farmsletje (The Wheelie) he is spending almost no time on managing eco. He is looking at the map and is busy casting. I see him having some very usefull practises and maybe using some mod. But I am not able to fathom they way he works by just watching his gameplay via cast (or replay).

So my specific questions:

1. What are the best UI mod for this?
2. What is best approach for keeping APM low? I see Farmsletje do something where he selects all his mexes. How does that help? Do they auto upgrade one at the time?

For example: the select nearest lowest tech mex button is for me a good tip getting started to get more efficient at this.

My experiences with team matchmaker 4 vs 4 system:

1. With 12+ players, still no match could be made. Is it registering everybody? (15% of the time)
2. There is a match, but the game does not launch after 2 minutes of waiting. Still seeing the green text "Match found" (35% the time).
3. The game launches, but the loading does not commence (40% of the time).
4. Sometimes when the loading does not commence a popup shows up that there is no response from other players after 2 mitures (10%). But this does not happening all the time.

After scenario 2 the client thinks the SUPCOM.exe is running and I don't know how to correct this. To fix I check task manager and shutdown supcom.exe if it is running. I close the FAF client. Then the following occurs:

1. Restart client with shortcut and the client starts again (60%)
2. FAF client just won't start. Reboot computer required. (40%)

I spend about half my total of FAF time trying to get the game running in 4 vs 4. What is going on and will it become better over time?

I watched some of Farmsletje (Thewheelie) games on Twitch and notice that it takes almost no effort for him to upgrading his mexes.

I know that you can build storages around a mex with shift right click since FAF version 3728. Is auto upgrading done by an UI mod and if so, which one is the best?

Are there other tricks to get better at mex upgrading?

Is there a way to make the commander behave like an engineer when giving a attack move order? Or can he only reclaim by manually clicking the reclaim?

The commander is behaving differently when I give a attack move order; It skips the reclaim (dead mex in screenshot). While my engineers don't. Is this suppose to be like this?

@arma473 I don't agree. I have never seen any usefull t3 navy battle with low rated players. Just one team wins because they got to mid first. They only thing it learns you is to make a perfect drop BO. Like dual gap but then way less fun. Because after a perfect execution the match is won and thus over.

If you ask me this map is there just to annoy people.

@brutus5000 I asked for stable games as well. What do you think my picture is about. The zillion times there was a disconnect in ladder.

Still angry and salty about ...

@ftxcommando thank your for this clarification. Will keep it in mind when I am salty next time.

We shall see how long this community will be able to continue. Number of players seem to drop already since last year. Not listening to your community is a good catalyst fot that proces

This community makes me salty!

@sheikah WHY, that does not sound smart thing to remove if you want to try to keep players from continue playing FAF.

Maps with "less then perfect" aspects (aka C.R.A.P.) like:

• The bermuda locket: no space to move tanks from one side to the other.
• Serpahin glaciers: a map that is about a transport rush every time you play it the rest of my sad life.

Maybe the admins where sleaping when choosing maps but I am even better of playing astro craters since I can build thanks that go from my base to the other side of the map.

Their used to be a feature where I could configure the maps I really hate and never wanted to play again in ladder the rest of my live. I can not find the button for that any more. Where did it go?
