Input for next xta version (non-balance issues)

[knorke]

ok so somebody was working on a better ui but that is still long to come so how about some small changes that are easy to do. The buildmenu could be better sorted.
for example commanders buildmenu:

It makes no sense for the T1 labs to be at top, then comes some water stuff, then come the T2 labs.

there are holes are because i was too lazy to see what is on the other sides. But I think they would not be so bad, maybe its possible to add a "empty unit" in there? Or some other less hackish way
Main idea is, factories should be grouped, as should eco stuff or defense.

Even better, if there is no water on the map, remove the water buildings from the buildmenu!

or use keybinds

[raaar]

agree with reordering of build menu stuff by type (Plant, metal, energy, defenses).

Ca has yellow "construction" borders on factory build pictures. That also helps.

or use keybinds

not an option for people who dont use them.


Clicking more brings up your game.

[1v0ry_k1ng]

fixing the build menus is easy but time consuming and repetetive

[knorke]

I think it still needs to be done because even if a super-lua UI should be finished, the order would still be wrong.

[Spawn_Retard]

i think for sea buildings, the underwater mex should be on the first page. Thats what fucks me the most.

[Jools]

Yes, but it's also a problem with the pictures, under water energy storage and floating metal maker look very similar.

One more thing: would it be possible to increase the slope tolerance of the Commander. He is presently ridiculously intolerant for slopes, and I think that has never really been the intention of the modmakers.
