The idea is to gain this second, and to remove the fail "chance" from the equation. If we could clic a button on the mex to auto build, that would be cool !

Yes you can still place it wrong but I find it easier to click directly on the mex rather than to the side. Just take an extra second to place it carefully.

I consider this "remaining-risk"

I've tried, it doesn't avoid the failure when you place metal storage around mex. It's still possible to place 3 of them, not aligned, instead of 4 around the mex. Or I missed something !

good tip sheppard! ty!!! I also used only 4 mexes...

for those who gonna try it as well: start with the mex in the middle and than build the others around because the mouse points on the first building of the template...

Sorry, but I don't understand (maybe my bad english), can you explain it a little more ?

Build a mass storage with 4 mass storage around it. Then you can place your storage by clicking on the mex rather than to the side of it.

how did you figure out the 3.5 ?

one template has 4 storages, so it should be 4 times, but imo, with templates it is easyer to miss

So... take a deep breath, move your acu back, send you army to defencive positions, and start make mass storages around your mexes
