    Hello everyone!

    Super excited for 6.0.

    Thanks to the devs for their great work.

    One thing I am getting very tired of doing is going into every playfield.yaml and changing the drone reserve counts from 3 or 4 to 999999.
    Also setting the difficulty to 7 for each drone base.
    And then setting the Amount for those drone bases to Infinite.

    Doing this every restart is pretty tedious. Is there a shortcut I am missing? I'd love some advice!

    Thank you.

    Nope no shortcut, unless u call the scenario option a shortcut yes then there is :D

    U can copy your changes to a scenario and play the scenario. Then u only have to change on a patch new things to the playfields and not change everything what u want to stay the same.

    3 FAQ what explain makeing your own stuff 3rd one is about scenarios and stuff.

    Also a easy way to edit the playfield.yaml

    @jmcburn wrote something nice for it, goes 5 times quicker that way:
