Build Mode

[Flynn]

Hi, just watching ZaphodX's POV cast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 1E4A#t=15s) and I noticed he used build mode a lot. I remember this was vanilla but I can't remember what it actually does.

forget build mode. get hotbuild.
as an example, this is what i use:
c - mex
x - pgen
shift-c - airfac
shift-x - landfac

thats all i need...

[Flynn]

Is that the same thing though?

If you are going to learn something new go with the more powerful hotbuild.

That needs to go in a sticky, I reckon that is worth a 50 point improvement for every player with that.

this statement is epic bullshit, if everyone improves "by 50 points" they will all stay at the same rating

[Flynn]

What I mean is with hotbuild their rating might improve by 50 points because micro becomes so much easier. Because you don't have to click on the menu and potentially select the wrong object and other associated micro mistakes.

That would only be if everyone used hotbuild. He is saying your rating might improve by around 50 points if you started using hotbuild.
