| Summary | 0019986: Too easy to accidentally build multiple buildings | ||||
| Description | Literally the first game I did in 0.760: - Start tutorial. - As instructed, open Build tab and build Space Dock. - When Space Dock is finished building, click on it. - Another Space Dock starts building. This is a UI feedback issue. When you move your mouse over a structure, it puts a circle around the structure and highlights the icon, this makes me think "clicking will select it." Which makes it surprising when I click, and it builds another structure somewhere else. You need to make the feedback consistent with the action the player's about to do. To review, the situation's clicking on an existing structure when the build command's active. If the Right Thing To Do in this situation is build a new structure, you should change the feedback to show the outline of the structure to be built. If the Right Thing To Do in this situation is select the existing structure, you should change the response to match the feedback, i.e. select the existing structure instead of building a new structure. I'm thinking maybe the Right Thing To Do is the first thing (build the structure). If the game's super picky about not placing things on top of each other, you might have bad experiences in situations like trying to frantically build in a crowded area during combat. | ||||
