Buildings in progress

Sometimes the workers just stay around a building site awaiting materials. There is little information about what materials are needed/on the way.

I would expect to see besides the green completion bar info on how many materials are still needed to complete the building. Maybe with a small +1 if a material is on its way already. (like in statistics panel).

Re: Buildings in progress

Good idea, sometimes building is hidden behind trees or other objects, that you are not sure which materials are there already.

Re: Buildings in progress

I see no harm in adding some more information to the panel of a house under construction showing how much stone/wood is required and how many have already been delivered. The panel is basically empty now.

Re: Buildings in progress

I thought of a different layout.. One thing lead to another and here it is:

These are two materials repainted in x10 size:

Useful feature! I like the one of Krom the most.

Re: Buildings in progress

Krom's one is best I think, more simple. Even if it doesn't realy matter.
But is it me or does the stone look big compared to the text size?

Re: Buildings in progress

Hmm I like Lewin's image more, in my opinion the stone/timber looks too big.

Re: Buildings in progress

I defiantly prefer Krom's layout because my one looked a bit odd as it was the only thing aligned left (and it couldn't really be aligned center because of the different lengths of translations). However I agree with The Dark Lord in that Krom's icons look way too big to me. I think Krom's layout with normal sized icons (or maybe slightly bigger) would be best.

Re: Buildings in progress

On a second look I agree with TDL, icons are a bit too big. Here's how it looks with 30px icons:

P.S. Still it would be nice to find an application to these 200px icons ;)

Re: Buildings in progress

Yes we all agree with TDL even if it's what I said 2 hours earlier. :D
But yes now it looks better.
