Why you should use it: If you have anywhere from 1 to ~25 puppet nations, it makes switching between them easier.

A NationStates++ puppet list.

NationStates++ is one of the most widely-used extensions for NationStates. One of its main features is a puppet management tool that allows you to switch between nation accounts by clicking a link instead of having to enter your password each time. Being able to switch between puppets quickly and easily is extremely important because less wasted time logging into a puppet nation means more time for shielding or launching.

NationStates++ can be installed Linkhere. Once it's added, you'll see a new button in the top right of the NationStates menu bar labelled 'Puppets'. Hover over it, and you'll see a link labelled 'Manage Puppets'. If you click that, you'll be taken to a page where you can add puppet accounts and even organize them into different lists.

Unfortunately, however, NationStates++ is old and no longer maintained. While its puppet management function still seems to work, many of its other features are broken. If you want a newer, alternate version that lacks many of NationStates++'s issues, you can try LibreNS++. LibreNS++ is set up as a userscript (a little bit of code that the user -- you -- add to your browser), so you need to install the LinkGreasemonkey (Firefox) or LinkTampermonkey (Chrome) extension first in order to run it (those extensions basically just allow you to add your own little bits of code to your browser).

Once you've installed one of those extensions, click Linkhere to install the LibreNS++ userscript. Reload NationStates once you've installed it, and you'll see a new button in the top right of the NationStates menu bar labelled 'Puppets'. Click on it, and you'll see a link labelled 'Manage Puppets'. If you click that, you'll be taken to a page where you can add puppet accounts. You can find more information about LibreNS++ here.

Why you should use it: If you have ~25 or more puppet nations, it makes switching between them a lot easier (even easier than NationStates++/LibreNS++). It's the preferred puppet switching technique of the pros!

Containerise is an extension for the Firefox browser that makes handling a large number of puppets much easier. As Racoda, the author of the main guide on using Containerise for NationStates, notes:

"Firefox includes a feature that lets you use multiple identities (multiple accounts) on one site, with each account in a distinct, colour-coded container. What this means for NationStates is that you can be logged in to multiple nations in different tabs all at once, without having to switch between them. This allows to greatly speed up [switching between puppet nations].... Of course, the more ... puppets you have, the greater the time savings. In essence, containers can be thought of as if you're using a different browser (or private browsing) for each nation, but all within a single browser instance.

One of the many extensions leveraging the power of Firefox' containers is Containerise, which lets you automagically open a tab with a different, logged-in nation (without having to log out from all of your other ones) by simply clicking a link."

The Potato Alliance commanders advise you to set up and use Containerise if you're planning to use a large number of puppet nations (say, 25 or more) during N-Day. Being able to switch between puppets quickly and easily is extremely important because less wasted time logging into a puppet nation means more time for shielding or launching. If you're interested in learning how to use it and want to run a lot of puppets, but you're not sure quite how things work, feel free to tag King Platypus#1081, or 9003#5389 on Discord for help.

The following dispatch is a comprehensive guide to setting up Containerise for puppet management. Please read it for instructions on how to set up the extension. It's originally meant for use by card farmers (players who run large numbers of puppet nations in order to generate cards), though, so it includes references to card farming. You can safely ignore those, because in this case you're using it for N-Day, not the cards game. But make sure to choose the container=puppet option when you reach that step in the instructions!

Why you should use it: It will make all your actions much quicker. Everyone should use it!

Solanum is a keybinding script created by Esfalsa that replaces Psithurism (used on N-Day7 and earlier) and has been built specifically for Potato Alliance on N-Day. It takes actions that you would normally take with your mouse, like going to a certain page or clicking a button, and maps them to keys on your keyboard. LinkIt is available to faction members on this link

There is one thing you can do to prepare for installing Solanum, though: just like LibreNS++ above, Solanum will be distributed as a userscript (a little bit of code that the user -- you -- add to your browser). So you need to install a userscript manager such as Violent Monkey or Userscripts for Safari (LinkFirefox | LinkChrome | LinkSafari (Userscripts)) extension first in order to run it (those extensions basically just allow you to add your own little bits of code to your browser). In addition, if you've previously installed Breeze++ or a similar extension, make sure to turn it off before using Solanum!
