12/11/23 Many Thanks to Anblick again for pointing out that loading in War Mode gave the wrong results

 - The War and Peace mode is now available as below  War colours as different to Torn after doing a colour swap decided to keep them added War and Peace Buttons showing your current and

 

Because I use the Original colours from v3 there are some changes in the colour layout in the Branches The light blue icons have no relationship with Torns blue icons, don't even they are used as Endpoints for your next click and as guides to unlinked branches only after clicking these, it will show the results, and sometimes not enough respect icons

T

Every Faction Leader should have this Tool, you can see exactly what you have and what is needed You can experiment with branches with a mouse click, each Tier auto arranges to the correct order giving you the best setup It will show the influence that a single change to a branch can change the Tier orders

There will be no more mistakes in your setups. Get the full picture with Faction Upgrades Simulator   This App does all the work for you; it reorders the tiers into the correct positions as you add or remove branch slots

 It has 2 working modes

• Sandbox: Unrestricted, as many branches as you like, and shows you how much respect is needed to get these goals
• Don't forget to switch over after use
• Strict: Limited to the amount of faction respect and shows unfulfilled Challenges

Branch Helper mode shows branch names and slots taken

 Shows when you are low on respect

And were locked with a Challenge

Load/Save setups everything is saved in the working folder, including your Torn API key and Passwords. Nothing is hidden or written to your PC without permission 

Stay on Top Function 

This holds the window on top of other windows and shrinks the window size for easier use so you can view your setup while setting the Upgrades in your faction

API Request 1 API request User Basic to identify you on your first run and then on after 1 API request Faction / Basic, Stats, Upgrades* (see notes below) 

Snapshots mode for multiple pages and single shots https://prnt.sc/vmzcz8 (see notes below)
