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

The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert where a man is never alone, for he can feel life quivering all about him. The sea is only a receptacle for all the prodigious, supernatural things that exist inside it; it is only movement and love; it is the living infinite.
~Jules Verne ’20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’, Datalinks
