@zeldafanboy should be fixed now was a change i was trying out and it slipped through

[image: 1678545765616-lod1.png] I know the new lod1 speck team needs tweaking

Sending a train of engineers to do one, singular order rather than splitting engineers to do the orders twice as fast will always be worse.

@jip said in Redesign of the Aeon air factory: That is a problem yes, changing textures like that. They'd blip into view at the end Couldn’t we sell it as the lights being switched on at the end of the construction process and just leave the animation running with non player related neutral colors like black?

Best place to make a sudjestion like this would be over on the faf client GitHub repository. https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/issues/new/choose here you can create a feature request and the maintainers are more likely to see it.

I'm afraid this won't be possible. The entire feature is one large assembly patch and those are very difficult to customize in such a way.

But they can't only play 5x5 as both players have to agree

I think the ideas presented are intriguing, but I am concerned about the current player base for ladder and TMM. The number of people who play these modes is already quite low, and implementing features that allow players to choose which kind of map style they want to play could potentially harm the already small minority of players. However, I do see potential for these ideas in the future. As the game evolves and attracts more players, these features could become more viable and beneficial. But for now, given the state of the game and its player base, I am not entirely convinced that implementing these features would be the best course of action.

@Mach Nobody thinks timed expansions is a bad thing. What is bad, is that the players don't know that FAF changed the most-used strategy of noobs for how to beat any missions. We can do a better job of telling players about it. See below. @speed2 [image: 1676932732195-c91dace4-e905-4896-80e2-6cb46ccae5f9-image.png]

@analyzenoob said in Anchor sonars: I actually would love a toggle button that you can use hold position ANY unit, including land units. Imagine if you could "hold position" on t3 mobile artillery + 1 mobile shield or mobile stealth, while still being able to move other units and other mobile shields That would be nice

Can we reuse notify code which already does stuff like announcing experimental construction et all for this?

This was already planned but I have no time untill the mid/end of February when I finish my exams.

I instead suggest adding an option to reduce particles all the way to zero

@tagada said in Split matchmaker into mapgen and regular map queues: There is currently no 3vs3 queue since that format is essentially dead. Nearly nobody plays it and there are no maps for it. If it would be just a map problem then the mapgen 3vs3 would solve that. The question is would enough people play it? Try it? 2v2 is basically dead anyway. Coincidentally, I wonder how much effect mapgen vs known maps has on rating. Using a dedicated queue (+ rating) might be worthwhile anyway.

@brutus5000 said in Open the FAF wiki: @blodir said in Open the FAF wiki: There's a massive difference between having to ask someone for an account and being able to register asynchronously. Seriously. The history / experience of the old wiki proves you wrong. Seriously. I mean it's of course possible that people won't contribute either way. The faf wiki specifically has 0 momentum behind it. Very few people ever use the faf wiki for anything as far as I know (I think there's some mapping guides there?). People don't want to contribute if they feel like nobody will care about their contributions. So yea anyway multiple reasons of course and there's no guarantee that being open will make people want to contribute on its own, but being closed is definitely a big impediment.

Thanks for the mod suggestions, I will take a look and pick.

@serpentor their has always been an in game changelog but if you want to read afterwards their one located patchnotes.faforever.com that you can use for all balance update.

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....
