Summary | 0027796: Suggestions on Inventory Unlocked Tech Interface | ||||
Description | In the inventory research screen I know you can mouse over any tech to see the cost and the % of your total resources but I often find myself wishing to compare costs wihtout having to mouse over. Is it possible to add columns as in the screenshot where A-D represent the various research points with a column also including the % of total? The type and current total of each research point could be the column headers. If that seems too complicated or cluttered I would still find great help from even just having each research category display a cost; alternatively the icons could have color coded borders that correspond to the category of research they belong to (nanoparticles, robotics, etc.) In my use having the research point counts in either of the red circled areas would be a great help. | ||||

I don't think I understand the A-D thing. Would those be additional levels of the tech in question, or ... ? |

No, I knew that was a bad explanation. The columns could be headed by each research type (i.e. A is "Nanoparticles", B is "robotics", etc.) with perhaps your current total in each category displayed as a column header as well. Ideally for me I would be able to see - the number of research points in each category I have - the cost/category of each tech without mousing over it I do get that this is all in the research screen (and with better info on benefits) but some kind of spreadsheet/matrix that displays all the researches and their cost/categories would help me view it from a more strategic level without a lot of mousing over things in this screen or the research screen. Currently I find it hard to keep track and remember what costs what and what breakpoint I'm going for in each research category to get what I want. I hope that makes a bit more sense! |

It does, thanks. I'm curious to see whether people find this screen, the tech tree itself, or both useful as this progresses. |

I think this is a good idea, and something we'll go ahead and take an initial stab at. The fact that this screen doesn't show the resource amounts at all right now is kind of problematic. I think just a single column that shows: - Type of research points required, and how many, for the next tech. Including the icon next to the tech type. - What percentage of your current holdings that is, if you can afford it. I don't think we have the space to do lots of columns, but we can pack a lot into a single bit. Should be a relatively quick addition. |
