Doesn't work in IE, Firefox or Opera. He must have changed his site around.

I don't think that -dusty- would have something against, so I decided to host the FCC in the meanwhile:

Factory Complex Constructor 4.02 Plus

I only had the Plus-Version of the FCC, I don't have the light one. All credits go to -Dusty- of course, I did no changes.

Best regards

Maybe I am not figuring it out, but I read the PDF and couldn't figure it out:

I understand how to place stations and everything. However, I was hoping this mod would speed up the process dramatically of building large complexes. It doesn't really seem to enable that so much as it enables building perfectly symmetrical complexes. Is there another mod that does this, or am I just missing this feature? The huge solar complex on the first page of the PDF also seems like it would be impossible using the -1, 0, 1 system.

The purpose of the FCC isn't to speed up complex building - basically it offers functions to build complexes which look good. It does speed up the placement of stations a bit (by bypassing the building animation, or OOS station placement), but it still requires the player to do most of the work.

If you are looking for something that actually automates a large part of complex building, you should try the Complex Cleaner by Gazz.

The complex in the manual actually was built with the FCC... it took a really long time however

And now for something completely different:

The part in the manual about building stations is quite misleading - What was I thinking when I wrote that?
Anyway, regardless of what the manual says, it is not necessary to select the initial station as reference when building additional stations. Any player-owned factory can be used as reference.
I have updated the manual, the revised parts should now be a bit less confusing.
The updated manual can be downloaded here.

Hmm, I have the latest version of FCC but it takes it FOREVER to cycle through factories in a complex (I have a sector with 250+ factories and it literally takes about 10 minutes for the FCC to cycle from one factory to the next)

I actually find your script superior in that the "Last Factory" hotkey targets the factory nearest to the player instead of just cycling through alphabetically. May be the author of FCC can consider implementing your script? I like it a lot better (and your script seems to lock onto factories a lot quicker)

Is the reunion version included in the zip file?

I don't if the author still support this mod, but there is a little bug that is slightly annoying... as shown in this picture..

The station that is on top is misaligned a tad to the right on the X axis. I have tried to use both a reference point and a non connected station to build the station but that problem still exist.

I used this mod millions of times before (factory complexe constructor), but this month, i installed X3TC from steam, and no matter what i do, the mod keeps telling me i don't have a tractor beam, even though i know i do have one in my freight bay.

I used the cheats menu (cycrow's) to build a TL Mammoth and equipped it with a tractor beam, but every time i try and use the controls it buggers out.

Also, i seem to remember only being able to unfix a structure when i was in the sector map, now it is the opposite.

Any thoughts people?

Why shoudn't they work together? They do, so there's no need to uninstall.

Tubless complex mods only replace the tube models with empty (=tubeless) models.

If you want uninstall information anyway:
The uninstall procedere of the FCC is described inside the manual file (pdf) which is delivered inside the downloadable archive.

The uninstall procedere of the compliance update is described in the posting, where you can download it.

ok well i'd like it if they both work as they should...

Fcc is fine but the tubeless complexs won't seem to work for some reason, i've tryed renaming the files and installing it as a mod in the mod folder... No joy my complexs still have tubes

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Mon, 10. Jan 11, 11:14

There is no real reason why a script like FCC and a mod like tubless tubes should conflict each other. Also I use FCC too with my own tubless tubes mod and it always worked fine.

Seems to be a problem in installing the tubes or with the tubes itself. So I think it's best to ask in the thread of the tubes.

Mod folder might be the problem... try using it has a fake patch
