Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Posted this in the "Little Things" thread but wanted to single it out here. This is a list of simple industry changes I would like to see. They are really little imo but would make a noticeable difference. Appreciate any feedback.

• Show number of manufacturing and invention/research jobs available in the blueprints tab of science & industry - i.e. Change Max Manufacturing Jobs 10 to Remaining Manufacturing Jobs 4/10 (showing 4 jobs left)


• Right click for any blueprint, only show options that are available for that type of blueprint. Right now you show all and if you click on a copy and choose "Copy" then try it again, it doesn't refresh your new selection but still shows "Copy". So why not just remove the option to choose a copy? For example only show:
T1 Copy - Manufacture and Invent
T2 Copy - Manufacture
T1 BPO - Manufacture, Copy, Material Research, Time Research
T2 BPO - Manufacture, Copy, Material Research, Time Research
T3 BPC - Manufacture
Relic (not a BP but same issue) - Reverse Engineering


• Manufacturing - Add an option to manufacturing for T2 BPC's to 'Manufacture All' that automatically populates the Runs button with the max runs for the BPC. I.e. 10 for most items


• Inventing - Improve Click Flow by fixing focus, changes in bold: Right click, choose invent. CCP change - Highlight Pick Installation (Selecting OK doesn't make any sense here), double click select installation, CCP change - Highlight OK Button. CCP change - Highlight Accept Quote button


• Manufacturing - Improve Click Flow by fixing focus, changes in bold: Right click, choose manufacturing. CCPchange - Highlight Pick Installation, double click select installation, CCP change - highlight OK Button.


• Only show industry slots at POS labs/arrays that are ONLINE or show them as "Ready/Not Online". Right now if it's anchored, it will show up in the installations list as "Online"


• (Not UI but still a good suggestion) R.A.M. use - Change R.A.M.s to only need the number required after damage calculated instead of 1 for each run. I.e. right now, 1 ram takes 30% damage per run can be used 2 more times but game required 3 rams, not 1. (Or just get rid of the damn things, what purpose do they serve anyway? Don't we already have enough extra components/items to add for T2 production?)
