Re: Local Solar System Management with hard made mock-up!

How about others? Any developers feel they need a second improved mock-up to better understand what I am saying where my words aren't enough? Also Oberlus, it isn't just that I told you multiple times I've read the very short simple design principles, this idea along with my easier cycling idea brin...

Re: Local Solar System Management with hard made mock-up!

thanks for doing a mock-up, it is the only reason that i was replying at all. it shows better what you imagine. the mockup in itself has some flaws as far as i understand you: e.g. the production window spills over the planet panels (which it should not) and more importantly it does not show that i...

Re: Pedia needs improvement

how stuff like violently exploding ship yards work. such stuff does not exist in the game Pedia entry describing such stuff does exist. Reading the pedia entries often leaves one puzzled where the colorful description ends and the description of game effect starts. (obviously the stockpile entry ha...

Re: Local Solar System Management with hard made mock-up!

You realize that on a different screen size there is less space, don't you sherlock First, not technically true. If it's the same resolution, a smaller screen would just mean smaller everything, but same space, and 1080 has been the standard for any PC for awhile, and as far as I can tell this is a...

Re: Questions about game play.

How does "automatic aggression selection" work? So some boosts boost only others of the same species, and some boost all others of the same metabolism? When is it species specific, and when is it all of a particular metabolism? I think this boost is "home-world". If I were to cha...

Re: Pedia needs improvement

It does. And that's a part you can do without coding skills. True, but I can't do it without knowing how things work in the first place. Like how am I suppose to improve on a description about violently exploding shipyards if I don't know what that means? Similar with Stockpiles entry. And here is ...

Pedia needs improvement

PP allocated to the transfer project are added to the imperial stockpile. The amount to transfer and how many times the transfer should repeat can be specified. Only PP that are produced in the same supply-group (and none from the imperial stockpile) are allocated to the stockpile transfer project....

Re: Local Solar System Management with hard made mock-up!

Yeah. Most of your suggestions would also take the one doing them a long time to make... Nice that you took the time to do it (sincerely), and nice that other people are taking the time to make the game evolve little by little. . . . Other things are being actively added to the game that I'm sure t...

Re: Please remove the seeming pointless turn delay.

Opposite direction of aggregation would be, no notifications for any buildings but shipyard types (and other buildings with active use like that) I'd use that notification filter.

Re: Local Solar System Management with hard made mock-up!

Ok what is good about the extra window What extra window? It's sharing real estate with the production window which has plenty of extra space as it is, so no extra screen space taken. and if this was a tab, no space taken. What is bad: this takes a lot of screen space. ??? Were you looking at somet...

Local list.jpg . . . . This took me a long time to make, Gimp is not the easiest to use. Also my cropping screen shot program Shutter really hates FO and kept crashing instead of taking a desired cropped screen shot. Obviously left side verses right side doesn't matter, I had already put one list o...
