[Suggestion] Resource Summary UI

Post by sphinxgate »

I appreciate that if you click each of the resources you get a breakdown of that resource with top 5 Buildings that generate and use that resource.Would it be possible to have a summary UI which shows all buildings generating and using that resource, even better if the UI is tabbed for each resource type to save clicking in and out of the individual resources. Nothing fancy just four columns would suffice at this stage.Building Type - IN - Building Type - OUTCurrent Capacity and Resource Balance can remain at the top.

So far the summery is a bit poor, I have not touched it or even used it myself whilst playing since pre-alpha when it was running on android. I would love to have more than 5 and have been investigating the feasibility of this recently, its the last UI that MUST change in some way as I am not too happy with it, how much it will change I don't know at this point, will it have an entire list of buildings, would like so but cant guarantee it yet, feel free to post some UI design/ideas as it may help me speed up development if theres a bunch of ideas to pick from etc.

Quick re-sampling of your 'Colonists' interface which works quite well and keeps the UI consistent.It's a little rough around the edges as I didn't have a background to adjust the opacity but you get the idea.

Thanks for the idea, I might use part of it, however at the very least you gave me a couple of good ideas / features, I like the suggestions, got some nice ideas to use here too but not sure how easy its going to be so will see how that goes too.
