As per the most recent patch notes, there's now an Ecomanager-like automatic fabber management function built into FAF.

The production toggle in the UI no longer toggles on/off, it now toggles auto/off.

If my understanding is correct, the logic is as follows:

If your energy is below 90%, and the trend is down, it turns off a fabber.

If your energy is full, and you're overflowing at least 100 e, it turns on a fabber.

Jip wanted to see discussion on the forums, as opposed to Discord.

Personally, if someone can figure out how to make this elegant in the UI, I'd like a three-position toggle - Off/Auto/On, with the default behavior being Auto.

In my opinion, this is great for people who fight with the ACU, because it means you're more likely to have Overcharge available more of the time.

In the interests of not overflowing energy though, I'd prefer to see the threshold maybe off at 90% trending down, on at 98% trending up at all.

Discuss!

I'm the author of that Vogons thread. Though I don't use Linux, my understanding is it does work, though some pretty obscure linux futzery is required. Check out the #linux-support channel on the FAF discord for further details and conversation.

This post on the VOGONS thread details precise installation steps needed to get dgVoodoo working on Windows - if you replicate the exact effects of these steps on Linux, you will get an equivalent result: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1066490#p1066490

Also, I have no idea what that appnee.com link is, it looks like a malware/spam site to me as all it does is beg me to turn off popup blockers and then redirect me around the world. Here's Dege's site for dgVoodoo - http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/

You really should check the Discord, there's active dialog there regarding documentation and packaging.

The only thing I can really add to that, in particular for FAF, is that you need to be working in FAF's bin/ folder, not Steam's bin/ folder.

Again, the Vogons post I link above tells you precisely what files are needed from the dgVoodoo distribution, and exactly how they need to be configured.
