What keys do you use?
« on: April 30, 2019, 01:06:56 AM »
I'm working on a mod that I hope to reveal soon but I want it to be as useful as possible. I want to know what keys you use in game. Of course we all use the common keys like H for hold, X and Z for zoom, B for construct base and what not. What keys do you find yourself using the most?

c for center map.
r for building roads.
SHIFT-r to change research
e to pull up the budget screen.  Wonder why that's on e?
F2 to see research progress
f for farms
SHIFT-f for forest
ctrl-f to plant fungus later in the game
s for solar collector
m for mine
o for Sensor Array
l for load transport, wake upon fully healed, or wake when enemy unit shows up
g for goto
] for raise terrain 
_ to level terrain

Sometimes I SHIFT-n to build a Condenser, but I tend to be more of the "forest and forget" school.

SHIFT-d gets used for disbanding units in cities sometimes.

I rarely use z and x.  Generally only at the very beginning of the game to see the radar echo of nearby land masses, if at all.

I rarely use q, drill to aquifer.  Sort of like, one game out of X I'll up and remember to do it.

I almost never [ lower terrain.

I never use p for Patrol.

I never use k to construct a bunker because they are disabled in my mod.

* Random quote

It is not uncommon to see patients undergo permanent psychological trauma in the presence of the Sphere, before the nerve stapler has even been strapped into position. Its effect on the general consciousness of the culture is profound: husbands have seen wives go inside, and mothers their children. Dr. Xynan left the surface of the sphere semitranslucent for a reason. You can hear them in there.. you can see them. It is a thing of terrible beauty.
