Toggling defense range indicators
Custom widgets can toggle all defense range circles on and off, or cycle through showing only anti-nuke, anti-air, or anti-ground ranges separately. Filled circles make it easy to spot gaps in defensive coverage at a glance. New players benefit from seeing ranges individually rather than all at once.
Build gridlines widget
The build gridlines widget shows a placement grid when constructing buildings. This helps line up factories, mexes, and defenses in neat rows. The widget circulates in the BAR modding channels and provides visual feedback during placement that the game does not offer by default.
Build ETA modifications
The build ETA widget displays estimated completion time for structures under construction. Modified versions pull from the base gui_build_eta widget in the BAR repository. Custom builds can adjust the display format, accuracy calculations, and visual style to match individual preferences.
Creed of Champions
Clean widget setups separate experienced players from overwhelmed ones. Creed helps newcomers configure their screens before matches so they can actually focus on gameplay.
