Reorganize columns at the techinfo from mines/plant/reactor

aliendestroyer · Jul 26th 2017, 1:38am

The columns from for example the metal mine at the techinfo are now: level, production/h, difference, difference/level, energy balance, difference and protected.

I'm not very interested in those difference columns and would like to remove them. Because it's simple to calculate them with a calculator. If you want to know how much you produce more when you upgrade the metal mine from level 29 to level 30 just do: production lvl 30 - production lvl 29. would like to replace them with the costs for the metal mine.

The columns would be then: level, metal cost, crystal cost, production/h, energy balance and protected.

Just worked it out in word. See btw that I removed the colon at energy belance. It was "Energy Balance:", now it's "Energy Balance", because why would you only put a colon there?

It's in a x5 universe (Quantum) as you can see. The first one is how it now is, the second is my proposal how I would like to see it.

I like the idea, but why not keep the differences thing and just add Metal and Crystal cost to it ?

I was afraid the table would be too big for small screens. If that's not the case we can keep those columns.

I think adding is nice, that's more information available. I think the columns you suggest to remove are useful, so I would try to may be reduce the number size and shorten the numbers making the exact value through a tooltip.

That said, another useful thing in every info page would be to make some space reserved to show equations: cost, and production, and energy consumption of mines, fusion plant, energy plant, sollar satellites, flight time in the research motors, etc.

Similar to what's already available in (a seemingly random page) Fusion Plants, but with better format rather than that chaotic formula copypasted inline with the same font of the information text.

Agree, would be nice to see those "wiki-things" ingame! Tooltip is a good idea.

I think should possible to add 2 label: production, cost
if you click on production you will see the actual info
if you click on cost you will see cost of any levels

Also possible to see some info twice? If I click on the label cost I want to see the costs of course but also the production, energy and protected. Else I still can't see it on 1 page.

Maybe two links for the first and second image in the first post of this thread? This image I mean. First one focuses more on the difference while the second more focuses on the costs.

In the description we could add the formulas and equations like Minion said.

I don't understand necessity to have all info in same page .......... when you see a level, it is fast to change label and see in your head total info

No I mean like you say two seperate pages but those two pages have some info which is the same. For example "production" on page 1 and page 2. Also "energy balance" and "protected" on page 1 and page 2.

The "differences" are only on page 1 then and the "costs" are only on page 2.

Edit 1: I see what you mean now. It's a matter of taste I think.

Edit 2: Maybe we could add some checkboxes where the player could choose which info he wants to see. So everyone sees what he wants then.
Turn costs on/off, turns differences on/off, turn protected on/off. Players could customize their own techinfo then. That would be awesome :saint:
