Summary0017110: Turn 0 - Selecting the initial starting point
DescriptionWhen selecting the starting position there's little indication as to which tile is the centre of city prior to landing. Is it possible to add a highlight overlay/icon on the map that indicates where the craft will land if the tile is selected?
TagsNo tags attached.

If you completely zoom out you can see a transparent overlay, which good, but as I'm zoomed to a general level to look for a suitable site, I was hoping for a more localised tip. I've attached a screen shot of how it's not clear from the perspective what hex the craft is centred over.

You can see a set of darker green tiles under the lander, that is where it will be placed.

There are 3 things going on there:
1: Placement Icons
2: Light Blue shaded area, area that is in that district
3: Dark Green shaded area, exact placement of the lander.

I think the district range overlay is irrelevant and confusing for the lander, since the entirely of the known world is within it no matter where you land.

The district range overlay on the lander is overwhelming.

Actually it is pretty important (if you start near the edge of the world, you don't want to be clipping off buildable area.

Force starts to stay away from the edge of the world?

I like starting on the edges.

Sure. But not that close.

If I have an opportunity to line up right on the edge, I will. Personal preference there.

Thanks!

* When placing your lander, it no longer shows that blue overlay all over the place.
