Commercial Storage Display

Post by Porrima »

The View All Store Contents button gives a nice view of all a player's resources and quick means of identifying resource shortages for the various production buildings (factories, refineries, etc.). With the addition of the Trade Commodities, the display is less useful in this regard. Would be possible to add a column to the display that has the items type (Resource, Trade Commodity, Settlement, etc.)? This way the doisplay can be used to isolate specific groups of items.

Considered and added...

It may add a second or two to the final render time based on just HOW much you have in there, but I've added the Type Column.

Thanks Coops.

No noticeable issue with the performance - and I have a "full house" of items.
I did notice a few "surprises" with the level of detail on the types. Interesting.

The 'Type' is actually an internal reference used by the game in certain 'lucky dip' sections of the code where a 'type' of resource along with a Galaxy selector are used. But in most cases they make sense. I added it in (as requested) as I don't think it gives anything away that's not already common KB.
