MODS ! the general howto and who's who thread about mods (69564 update)

I don't know...

See, I'm one of those people who immediately googles the hotkeys for whatever game I'm playing. I actually tried to map hotbuild bindings to the uber keybindings immediately, but it just doesn't work.


Plus we do get a lot of new players asking about keybinding stuff, and then they get referred to hotbuild2 immediately.

So...?

I don't find the hotbuilds useful at all. The whole point of shortening the time it takes to build is really a non-issue with me.

Linger allows you, well... to linger after the game is over.

I have to agree with tatsubj on this one. The current icons of PA feel very clutterd and its hard to find specific units. With the PA icons i feel its quite hard to find my engineers, or a specific factory or unit. Compare that to FAF where one can find his/her units at the blink of an eye. IMO the supcom icons are objectively better.

Any news on when the mod is coming to PAMM? ^^

uhm, it is on PAMM and if the version that's up there is not functional for you try the one on this page

Infinite build is fine but I have issue with an immediate build item getting added to the infinite queue. So 95% of the time I use batchsize. Also saves having to move the mouse all the way to the right just to hit the infinite button, painful stuff

I find Transparent Strategic Icons a big improvement in allowing you to pick out the important stuff

Wow. Really?

Go into settings.

Bind the toggle build mode command to a key you are comfortable with.

I've bound it to the tilde key. Never click on it ever.


If you wait for the unit to build,

Go to the factory, ctrl click to add it to front of queue, turn infinite build off until it has started building, and turn it on afterwards.

Either I use crazy ratios, or that works perfectly.

I agree, transparent icons is pretty good.

updated for 62110

Updated for Ver.62165 of PA !

Updated for Ver.62168. For the good of all I decided Hotbuild should finally be part of this ModPack.

nice work man.... is the sandbox you just added just the sandbox? or is the whole econ multiplier added back?

no it' something else. it does give the AI a multiplier but here's mainly what it does :

mostly useful to us modders who need to test a change in files quickly and especially so when "f5" doesn't cut it.

but if you want an AI that doesn't bother you this is the mod.

If you want to change the system's settings go to C:\Users\***you***\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\mods\instant_sandbox\ui\mods\instant_sandbox and open default.js

you can change things (including the multiplier) for example I have :

Code:

    system: {
      "name": "PLAYTEST",
      "planets": [
        {
          "name": "PLAYTEST",
          "mass": 10000,
          "position_x": 53567.4,
          "position_y": 8786.55,
          "velocity_x": -15.5348,
          "velocity_y": 94.7081,
          "planet": {
             "seed": 78462,
             "radius": 400,
             "heightRange": 50,
             "waterHeight": 50,
             "temperature": 50,
             "metalDensity": 50,
             "metalClusters": 50,
             "biomeScale": 50,
             "biome": "earth"

a bit less rookie-friendly but really accessible if you shed yourself a bit from the fear of mods. really worth it.

Let me know if you think it actually should be in PAMM - that will help prioritize which mods I work on.

I think for now, yeah it should... but taken off of course soon as the Econ returns. Absolutely superb job on this, seriously...

Updated for 62225 !
