Supreme(hehe)ly useful video! Just get into this game and still wondering what build order is the best without getting bottlenecked by mass/eng. Been playing RTS since forever but haven't tried these large scale strategy ones because my PC wasn't good enough back in the day. I do have a few questions though: 1. Some of the hotkeys/shortcuts, like the engineer attack move and toggling mass value from overworld scraps, don't work on my game. Are those only available on FAF, because im playing vanilla sc/fa atm? And if so; 2. Should I just install FAF? Because those QoL stuff seems really nice to have. I tend to play through these old games (usually the campaign) first without patches if there's any, just to get the authentic feel/experience, because while it's not always the case, some of the community ones tend to change the game too much from its original or make them easier in order to modernize them and such. Playing vanilla does make searching for guides trickier though, because pretty much everyone uses FAF as a base. Cheers.

It's amazing that my all time favorite game is still relevant. I am a 72 year old gamer.

Bro that map is squidward with an even bigger ass nose xD

Can I play this coop against AI on custom maps etc?

Is this FAF or Supcom FA?

Tranports assisting factories?? What year is this? Madness I say. I love it. Never knew that.

I was today years old when I found out factories had a "repeat" build button.

Just got into FAF the other day and I'm gonna admit I got stomped pretty hard by the normal AI in my first game. It's definitely did a lot of things I didn't expect it too (especially coming from the base game).

Thanks

hi, how to activate the letters to produce the units? thx

hi, how can i use the free view in game? or is it only availablenin replay? thx

Yeah, I learned about loyalists deflecting tactical nukes the hard way mid game one time...

I really want to play on that map you were on with the 1st bomber part I can't get it on the map generator :(

Thanks for this!

are you going to play sanctuary shattered sun and make some tutorial videos, when it come out?

My buddy bought the game for me so we can play together.

7 minutes in and nothing going on? :(

I just started playing this game. While almost 30 years in experience with any RTS. I have to say, this one has an unique resource system. I really love the reclaim mechanic. And I used it in the 4th mission on the forests. Which begs the question; "How much mass is a portion of forest worth?" That Ctrl + Shift will sure come in handy.

I like a line of pgen. I often order to do it with just one engineer. So in the next 10 minutes slowly my power production will increase similarly to power consumption.

The t1 mechmarine with t3 transports is actually quite dangerous 🤣

8:46 how did you do that? You somehow got the radar sorounded by energy generators in an instant. Is that a template? Does Radar functioning more efficently mean that it increases their range or that it consumes less power?

Thanks these videos have been of great help to me. I am enjoy this game a lot, seems like a lot less of the focus is on micro, compared to other RTS games.

How can I implement the banner you have above each structure which shows energy and mass consumption?

yoo you're on the FAF client's front page with this vid

I don't understand, how to activate hot keys, how to speed up and slow down the game?)

i've been playing this game for like 10 years and I didn't know you could tell a factory to assist another one by copying. wow. of course that's probably becuase I prefer playing campaign/co-op so I have zero real faf skills

im ridiculously bad at this game but now im slightly less bad, thank you for the help boss

5:37 how are you seeing the vision/damage/armor type etc? When I hover over units on mine it just gives the basic word readout but no stats?

Hey man. When you hover over the units to be made, why are you able to see the damage and other stats etc beyond just the basic readout description I have when I hover over a unit to be made in a factory? I have no clue what stats my units have I’m making 🤷‍♂️

Slightly bothersome that point defenses are so meh purely in terms of cost. The allure of point defenses is you don't need to babysit them and they just do their own thing automatically blasting at anything that gets in range. Tanks meanwhile seem to need constant babysitting or they get turned to toast. With limited time and attention to divert to dealing with things, it's nice getting to take a breather with something. With how long matches are it's extremely exhausting to have to deal with a million and a half things at once.

Hi, great video! Thank you for that. Question: if you send engineer to reclaim mass, what is the difference if you send to patrol the area or attack the area with (Alt command)?

to counter navy once you lost it at t2 it's over t3 it's experimental or air

Hey man are you alive???? People are speculating something bad happened to you...

W video W game he is the GOAT! Thanks so much definitely will check your game

I just started and oh boy this is amazing 🤩

The trick to select all mex and upgrade, then pause is so good.. I'm always searching around the map for the last tier 1

You taught me somwthing about storage increasing the tick of mass, i wonder why i always see storage and fabs around the mex

ctrl+shift doesnt show resources on map for me :/ anyone know why?

I think that building a t2 arty wasn't necessarily a bad idea, but the fact that you were very non-committal in all your endeavors hurt you allot. Throwing allot of mass away in hopeless attacks actually allowed him to get ahead of you in total mass, and he invested that mass right back into building up his turtle economy. By the time you had fully committed to building a t2 artillery siege on his base he was already ahead if you by 3k mass and was running almost even with you in current mass. there WAS a window where an artillery station would have been a killing blow, but you couldn't capitalize on it because you were stretched thin. Overall Im a newcomer too, but I play sera. my initial reaction was to just start building t1 mobile arty, spam, and then I realized you were aeon which changed things, lol. as I understand Aeon is one of the harder factions to master, but they have a great air game. looking at it, just teching up to t3 would have saved you allot of grief as a harbs or a single absolver would have popped those shields... it also bears in mind that aeon have sniper bots that could have picked away at anything not shielded. Not sure if A experimental would have been a good idea. Aeon experimentals are great, but they're expensive builds, so I liked your nuke idea better.

Question about the build template for the pgen you showed... why did you not have the energy storage in adjacency with the pgens?

What does turtling mean?

Tried playing this game when i was a kid and couldnt really understand it so gave up. Coming back to it again now cos it was on sale on steam, and fricking loving it. Also way better on pc too, last time i was playing it on xbox. So glad to see its still alive all this time later! 😀 love that the community is keeping it alive hell yeah. Awesome game and thanks for your videos!

Thankyou!

For me, "playing alone forever" isn't a mistake, it's a choice I made after getting burned out by competitive RTS gaming in the Starcraft 2 days. If playing solo is a "mistake", then I don't want to be right.

Why is ur hud different to mine?

This game deserves a (real) successor so much! I played this game so vanilla much in the past and was only able to play vs AI, that teaches you all the wrong lessons about the game (that is, turtling with point defense and defending your commander). Even though the community has done such an amazing job keeping the game alive with FAF, outside of the community I think the few people that are willing to touch an almost 20 year old game will not search for a whole seperat & modded installement. A simple treatment as Sins 2 is for Sins of the solar Empire, that up the grafics a bit and enables multi-core processing & performance could be a great re-entrance into the rts genre and would be an instant buy for me. Kinda sad, that devs only look for the big titles and self proclaimed "Starcraft killers" and overlook easy money in such obvious places :( Sorry for the rant :D

Are there any faction variations here? The transports costs the same, but don't they have various capacity?

Can you turn off the long range artillery that shit is insane?
