    do you do pole lock? if not how to keep your base always facing the same way?

    Also how did you bind move camera to mouse3?

    ELI5, what do you mean by camera hotkeys and move camera to middle mouse 3?

    He's using the camera anchor points (see keyboard binds) to quickly move about the planet, and mouse 3 drags to make smaller movements. The game has mouse button 3 bound as the mouse camera button.

    Cool. Shift+1, Alt+1 etc.?

    Awesome. I understood what he meant then. Wicked. Thanks Quitch.

    That's a good idea. Should be the default.

    I like the current defaults, C2's require a hand position change. Also I suspect players are more likely to use control groups than camera points, which is why control groups get the favourable use of the numbers. Might not be the right way to play, but I don't think you're going to change behaviour through default keys.

    Oh C2 is Cola-Colin. I assumed it was Clopsey Two.

    My issue with current default is that thumb to the alt key under my hand doesn't feel natural, so I just straight up don't use camera anchors. I would be more inclined to give Cola's defaults a go.

    Oddly I find I don't use control groups much (I did heaps in supcom) but the camera anchors I use all the time. I may swap them....

    I don't either, but I think swapping the expected defaults from years of RTSs will just confuse the **** out of people.

    It's the only other game I ever used camera hotkeys in.

    Oh wait, maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, what I meant was the CTRL-# and # for control groups is the standard, so taking over # for camera locations wouldn't be a good idea.

    And now I see I misread the original... oh bollocks.

    You're amazing holy sheet!!! I'm trying to watch and figure out what you're doing but it's so damn fast with the bloody camera going off everywhere and 1000 damn proxy bases!!! <I must start trying to do that harder now
    You're way too good. Teach me.

    Does Godde stream? I'd love to be able to play their POVs from this coming Sunday's King of the Planet games alongside one another, see if it causes me to have a seizure.
