Well, but if a car twice the size of another is going at the same speed to the finish line, the large car would win? Though I suppose it might not be noticeable enough.
May someone explain to me how to install these kinds of balance mods, how they work, what is required to play them, and will they affect my game when I'm not using them because I am (frankly to lazy to read everything [sorry]) terribly confused.
You'll need to get the Planetary Annihilation Mod Manager, I'll go fetch it for you, one moment. Then you'll just go to server mods, select install on Statera, then go to your mods and enable it. Afterwards go to the client mod section and install the Statera icons mod (Icons don't show up with server mods alone). Then enable that one. After that, launch PA and it'll be uploaded to the server and you can play on it! If you ever want to disable it, just go back to PAMM and disable it.
1. Get this: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-pa-mod-manager-cross-platform.59992/ Go to available mods, then server mods tab, then find and click on Statera. You'll also want the Statera Icons mod, in the client mods tab. 2. They are uploaded to a server when you host an online game and are automatically used when you host an offline one. Anyone without the mod can join and play without consequences. 3. The server mod will do nothing if you aren't hosting a game. The client side icons mod will change a few icons if you forget to turn it off before playing the vanilla game, but that's no big problem.
Okay, here's the mod manager link: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-pa-mod-manager-cross-platform.59992/
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Also Stuart I had to mention this to you, you must make the client side icon mod a dependancy of the server mod, at the moment it isn't.. Also an icon would be good for the mod I'd imagine, how about an edited version of this, only just the S?

Possibly more tweaks that I'm too lazy to find right now. 1.3 will be a naval focused update.
Updated to 1.25! Holkins health is no longer ridiculous. Vehicle Factory now uses old bot factory model in preparation for Statera 1.3. This does break area build with them. We are looking into a fix. *cough* @cola_colin 90 degree rotation script pl0x*cough* Uber Cannon uses more energy, drains at a faster rate. Hornet now has double the payload and reloads at twice the previous rate. Fixed missile commander weapons being broken. Rocket turrets can attack air again. Skitter is now amphibious. Textures from @zx0 overhauled, now reflect light and look proper when building. Sniper laser defense tower now uses more energy. Strider has new animation, should be transportable now. Astreaus and Vanguard should have an easier time picking up multiple units now. Stingray renamed to barracuda, uses different model. New aircraft carrier unit, proteus. Fabricates aircraft and repairs aircraft with a long ranged lathe (energy inefficent though) Naval factory health is no longer insane. Hummingbird and Peregrine have new animations.
Mods weren't shown by default on the server list in the past; now they are. We'll hopefully be seeing a lot more modded games, I believe we already do.
well im sick of base game so hoping mods can save this game...but they cant unless people are actually dling & hosting it which ATM are not.
Pivo, your arguments are akin to saying that "I can't play the game because there aren't any lobbies up". Want Statera games to be made? Host them yourself!
What good is that if the people currently online do not have the mods..just sitting there with empty game...
Anyone can see and join the game. You don't need mods to play. I hosted 5 or so 10 player modded FFAs yesterday which all got filled reasonably quickly.
