Anyone got any guides out there? Things like mex/gen/factory building, how many and what order do you build in? How do you use fabbers? Do you just build using just your commander? Or do you use your fabbers to build/secure mex locales, and use your commander to build gens and factories? Stuff like that.

Start gen/mine/mine/mine/factory of your choice. From there just make tier 1 production together with your army/defense. Production shouldn't stop at any time.
1v1 gentlemen rules: assuming you start next to mex and with a certain distance to the enemy: commander: mex, pgen, mex, mex, factory, pgen, mex, pgen, mex, spam pgens forever 1st factory: engie, engie, scout, tank, spam tons of engies 1st+2nd engie support commnader till the the commander finishes the 5th mex. Depending on mass spots usually the 2nd engie doesnt support for long. After that they stop supporting him and switch over to making mex on all nearby masssposts you can find. 3rd engie: spam 6+ t1 vehicle factories to get an ant spam going. after this my plan ends. If the map is big I usually make an extra bot factory around the 5th engie that spams bot engies. So I have 2 factories (the first vehicel and the bot factory) that spam nonstop engies. They are either added to make more pgens, send out to all mex spots I can find or are ordered to make t2 factories wherever space for them is. Try to keep all engies busy. Balancing these things so I dont waste and dont stall and expand as fast as possible is still work in progress. Dunno how it can be done best.
