🧩 Eco UI Tools

Dedicated Mex status tracker and automated Mex upgrade management.

Dependencies: UI mod tools
Settings:

• F10 → UI mods options → ECO UI Tools
• F10 → Key Bindings → ECO UI Tools

Core Features

• Show mex overlay - displays Mex tier overlays (numbers)
  Tip
  

  Redundant if you already use custom strategic icon packs.

• Auto T1 mex upgrade - automatically upgrades T1 mexes to T2 (instantly sets them on pause)
  Not Recommended
  

  Due to a micro-delay before pausing, this disrupts standard early build orders (e.g. 4 mexes into hydro - you will stall power).

• T2 capped mex upgrade - auto-upgrades T2 mexes to T3 only when fully capped (instantly pauses)
• Display mex overlay with numbers - displays mex tiers as numbers
• Number overlay size - font size of number overlays
• Unpause mexes being assisted - auto-unpauses upgrading mexes when an engineer starts assisting
• Unpause once - unpauses each upgrading mex only once
• Upgrade only rounded t2 mexes - Upgrade T2 mexes only when fully walled with storages
• Assist BP threshold: mex unpauses if summary BP greater than this value - build power threshold: mex unpauses only if total assisting BP exceeds this value
• Panel scale - resize the dedicated Mex tracker panel (see below)

Mex Tracker Panel

Displays real-time mex status and upgrade progress.

Controls:

• RMB - pause / unpause all mexes in a tier group
• Ctrl + RMB - pause / unpause a single mex in a tier group
• MMB - move panel

The panel also visualizes ongoing upgrade progress via green bars at the bottom:

Additional Keybinds

Beer

Audio cues (opening a beer can) for Mex upgrade start and completion.

📦 AutoStorage

Hotkey-based mass storage and mass fab capping around mexes.

How it works: select engineers → hover over a mex → press keybind → automated capping orders queued.
