    A lot of people just use PAMM unfortunately. The sites with mods have more detailed things like files to manually use and such, but the vast majority just want one click function.

    I like any fan sites, I would consider all of them viable up to release when the surge comes.

    I work where this blog is hosted actually- WP Engine. Honestly, best job I've ever had. We don't play while we work, but I do play for a few hours after I'm off if people are around the office (thank you Uber for developing for Mac so it works on my work computer!).

    The website is VERY nicely designed! The content on it is also pretty damn good!
    Welcome to the community!

    I may be abusing my position, but you have the cleanest Apache error log I've ever seen. Maybe that's because I spend my day fixing broken sites, but seriously. That thing is humming.

    I have re-worked this section now that I'm off, but I'll just post it here for ease of reading for you all.

    EFFICIENCY IS IMPORTANT
    As Bill Nye would say, consider the following: your economy is like a car. An insane, complicated car. This is going to be a terrible analogy, but we’re just going to go for it head-first.

    You are at a gas station and you see that there are 15 gas pumps (mex nodes). You connect a gas pump to your car (your economy), and, being the maniac that you are, you turn on the engine of the car.

    You pull fuel (metal) from your fuel tank (storage) into the fuel lines (energy) by opening the throttle (fabricators start building). Your car’s onboard computer (recon) regulates the fuel-O2mixture (unit composition) as it is fed into the engine. To get some extra kick out of it, you installed a fuel-injection system (micro-management), and the car really starts growling.

    Man, this thing is really starting to go, but you want to connect 15 gas pumps to it (15 mex nodes), get wider gas lines so that you can push more through at once (build more energy), really open up that throttle (more fabs and factories), and get a better onboard CPU (more scouting, never stop) so that your tuning and fuel-O2 mixture is even more perfect (closer to perfect counter-unit-compositions).

    Try to never need a larger reservoir (more storage), because you should be scaling your usage as quickly as you scale your income.[/quote]

    I know I've been bad, but it's been less than a month. The database was updated last week, the last article I wrote was 2 weeks ago. The @ didn't summon me btw (a fake quote would I think), I'm just ever present ;) When I convert the site to the new pamm json format (for server mods), I'll make it automatic so it'll always be half-assed up to date :p

    More pa sites is great, and it is nice too. Much sleeker than anything I could ever do.

    No. I was just talking about how PA Matches mod section has mods added on a regular basis.

    You being able to edit your mods will be coming very soon. PA Matches' 1 year birthday is coming on the 12th, and I'm finishing up the redesign. People being able to add videos and mods is very high on my priority list after the redesign is complete.
