FAT will appear when view the information for any unit or group of units. To use FAT, you just need specify the types of information, from the unit blueprint files, and how you want them to be calculated. You need to specify the field that contains the value you want, and the arithmetic function that you want to perform on it.
For example, if you wanted to compare the Mass Cost per Build Rate of tech 1, tech 2, and tech 3 engineers, you'd check all three, click on one of them, then type, in the FAT Query text box, the equation to perform this analysis:
- Code: Select all
Economy.BuildRate/Economy.BuildCostMass
Then hit "Enter" (or "submit") and FAT will perform the analysis on all selected units and display the original values and calculated value at the bottom of the DB entry. For T1, T2, and T3 engineers, the results are as follows:
FAT Result: 5/52 = 0.096153846153846
FAT Result: 10/160 = 0.0625
FAT Result: 20/490 = 0.040816326530612
No more doing these calculations by hand for each unit individually!
Also, to pull stats from weapons for units, you need to specify which weapon you want, because many units have more than one weapon. Specify which weapon you want like so:
Weapons.0.MaxRadius for the max radius of the primary weapon. Weapons.1.MaxRadius will retrieve the data from the first secondary weapons, Weapons.2.MaxRadius for the second secondary weapon and etc. Further, because the database already performed the calculation of DPS (based upon interpreting all the values that contribute to DPS) you can use this by just typing Weapons.0.DPS.
