Resource Usage Map

Post by CaptainMaim »

I was wondering if someone could make a resource usage map... So that, when I hit nano stall or end up looking to optimize my economy. I don't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out where the big power drains are...

On a similar and related note, why doesn't Spring show the total drain on resources after reserves are dried up? Original TA did it, and I could use that to say... "Well, if I just stop using up 10 more metal I'll be just fine."

GroupAI territory.

I had plans to create a simple groupAI that'd draw a 3D model of the map where the cursor was with big blips with units, and other strange things, resource usage would be trivial to add to such a system.

Hmm... I was just wondering if there was any interest in a display to show... Actually.. Nevermind, I just wish it wouldn't make the input display equal to the output when the reserves are dry... I'd prefer it to just show how much metal or energy is being drained as if I still had reserves left. That way I know how many over my income I'm draining.

Just because he drops one non secret project doesn't mean he isn't busy.
