How about changing the Icon in the UI to indicate HQ and Cheaper Alternative. Like a Gold Border around the more expensive option and Silver around the cheaper option?

No more making new models or re-arranging this or that. Just a simple Icon tweak. What would that cost in terms of development?

Here I'll make one for you as an example.

I really liked the tech building idea. It would make for more interesting gameplay, and it would fit in better with the supcom spirit where each unit mostly does 1 thing, and it would be more visually distinctive. Regardless, engimod was a huge success.

T3 Support Fac discrepancies are fixed in the next version of my tweak pack.

I agree with engy mod being a success, but I would like it to be more noob friendly be switching the factory order so they tend to upgrade 20 support factories rather than 20 HQ - so we can do that?

Another thing that should be addressed is the obviously bugged Aeon support air factory cost. It costs 1000 mass if you build it with a t3 engineer while all other T3 air factories cost >1500 mass and this alone makes Aeon air OP.

Engies all die in outer ring of nuke... not so for air facs.

With 20 factories * 250 mass saved I can build 11 T3 engies to sit around doing nothing... in case I need an exp. T1 engies also eat unitcap like crazy.

= each factory additionaly saves 248 mass over T1 assist
Not to mention 23.x units less towards unitcap

Yep. So as you and Zep mentioned, it's a matter of whether those 248 mass spent is worth the versatility of being able to use the buildpower on something other than air.

As aeon/sera, t3 engies aren't horribly more inefficient -- you only need 3 t3 engies costing 320 mass more, and they can start an experimental on their own.

Because the Romans didn't spam enough engies to assist.

Hi All

Thanks for the info appreciated.

Yes the search, tried that but everyone seemed to be referring to it as the "Engi Mod" which returned nothing...

But thanks all

It's easier to boil a frog when you put him in cold water first

Nah; I agree with it being a success. I can finally spend my mass. I never got the 500 T1 engi thing.
