Suggestion to help navigation & mgmt

[bbrodbeck]

    I was given this software as a Christmas present and haven't had much time to try it out yet, but I do have a (hopefully) simple suggestion that I think will help users navigate and manage their settlements.  In Design mode, after loading a design, the screen nicely displays in a small horizontal blue-bordered box the name of the design that you are working on.  I have attached a modified screen shot from Manage mode in which I suggest adding something similar -- in two parts:

1) When Files is clicked and the center dialog box comes up for picking the colony to work on it would be nice if the names included in parentheses the design name from which the colony was elaborated and then the location. 

2) And once a colony is selected to work on then, like the program does in Design mode, display this information at top center of the screen.

As I try this thing out - and it looks like fun - I'll probably have some other suggestions.  If it's not too late.

It's definitely not too late! The next few releases are focused squarely on exactly this level of polish & refinement. We want to remove any stumbling blocks getting in the way of the fun.

These are good ideas. I'll put them on the list, and I look forward to more suggestions in the future!

Thanks,
