    Not either of you at fault, but entirely not what I meant by my question. I am trying to ask if anyone knows the specific mechanic by which the game decides if a selection box should exclude the combat units or the fabs. I can understand how you didn’t get that from my reply, but how did you get to “what is a combat fab?”?

    Comparing the game's fabrication_bot_combat.json file to the same file in the Combat Fabber Deselect mod, The mod seems to have dropped
    Code:
    "unit_types":[.......,"UNITTYPE_Offense"..............],
    They both have
    Code:
    "unit_types":["UNITTYPE_Construction",.......]

    Although at this point they get grouped together with fabbers when you drag a group selection.

    Regular bot fabbers have
    Code:
    "unit_types":["UNITTYPE_Fabber",......]
    Which neither of the combat fabber json files have

    This is what happens with the Combat Fabber Deselect mod

    not gonna put this into OP
    but what do you guys think about a ragnarokversion that only destroys the planets surface for recolonisation (since there is discussion for asteroids doing that)
