alt+w addition

The hard part here is figuring out what the controls for it should be. Alt and Ctrl are already used for whether you make 1, 2 or 4 solars around the mexes: https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/Area_Mex_Command

And Alt+w at the start is for putting mexes in holes.

The actual coding is already done (I literally have the modified widget file).

Actually, could just upload the widget for you and you put it in your widgets folder so that for you it makes defensive structures for you?

also I might have caused some misunderstanding.

The correct procedure i mean is:
- selecting a builder
- pressing w
- releasing w
- holding alt+shift
- dragging over mexes
- releasing alt+shift

this way I area mex with 2 solars (or wind gens) and my question was to add defensive structures to this "macro" or one def structure to the ctrl+shift macro for only one energy building.

hope it now more understandable...

wow, didn't know that, cool function but it's not like building a mex + 1-2 solar gens and a lotus and a picket ...

I don't think this should be implemented as a core function, maybe the community would prefer a widged where you can enable and disable lotus or picket or both.

So everyone can decide what's the best for him self.

forticulus: Pop this file in your LuaUI/Widgets folder in your zero-k installation directory: https://gist.github.com/danfireman/4544947041468f857be418c71d220062

It will change it so that alt+w will add a lotus when you're area-mexing with energy.
