Summary0014778: Planet Details Screen / Overlay List becomes too cluttered as the game progresses
DescriptionPlayed through various games now, but what's currently making review hard than it needs to be is the planet details Screen / overlay list.

As the subject title says it becomes too cluttered as the game progresses, so you end up to browse over a long list of information that's all squashed to the right of screen. It becomes increasingly more difficult to find important information easily and once the game gets going, you end scrolling through a seemingly endless list of similar items that could at the very least use some better grouping of the counts / statistics.

Moreover this planet details screen could do with some rework / enhancements. On suggestion is that it would be great is to see some sort of abstract view of the growth of the planet around items such as the buildings/improvements.

I keep reading on the forums/mantis about "simcity like" concepts, so it would great to see some visualisation of the organic growth (although simplistic) of the planet rather than just a long and squashed up list that becomes a bit unwieldily towards the later end of the game.

Thanks!

* A huge number of improvements have been made to the advanced planetary details sidebar stuff.
** Things are better ordered.
** Things no longer run over from one line into the next.
** Everything is broken out into really sensible sections that start out collapsed and can be expanded and collapsed at will.
** Things actually have headers so that it's clear what each group of stuff is, whereas sometimes it previously was not.
