I'm one of the devs for that, thanks for mentioning it!

This looks really similar to Zero-K (https://zero-k.info/), would you mind giving a quick list of key differentiators?
ZK deviates far further from Total Annihilation, while BAR is much more of a successor.

2 factions with tiered factories instead of the "flat" balancing, and instead of using the local energy grid for Overdrive you build Metal Makers that convert energy to metal for you.

I like Zero-K but the maps the game takes place on seem to be very small. (And the music is awful)

That said the enemy AI seems to have a bunch of neat tricks up its sleeve. And it feels like TA-in-3D.

Also, I wish the developers would spend some time making the UI feel a little more lively.

Been playing BAR for a few months now. So far I think its one of the best TA inspired games Ive come across. Great work! Any plans to allow third party unit mods or AI mods similar to TA?
Interseting - I had not heard of this one!
