Reply to Engineers not very visible - map and minimap in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Good to hear, thanks FrogBoy. Possibly if you hold down a certain key it could add a glowing highlight to all units of a given type. Eg Shift-F1 glows all engineers, F2 all ground units, etc. Ctrl-Shift could show all 'idle' ones of that category. Hitting space before letting go of the combination could select those units.

Options to automate building metal extractors in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I like that capturing the region gives you half of the metal generation capacity, but I find myself wanting to focus on other things than queue up metal extractor production. To reduce micromanagement, perhaps we could have: - area commands - drag to create a circle or square, and the engineer does the travelling salesman solve and builds all of them - a time based thing - slowly the extractors are built by the claimed region hub itself, there could be a setting (globall

Reply to Menu screen problems on 2560x1080 in Offworld Trading Company Offworld Forums

Hi guys, just to let you know this issue continues to exist in the new UI. See the following screenshot in the campaign menu - you can't see how much money you have, and some buildings are overlapped by UI elements. Res is 3440x1440. Game is great fun at that resolution otherwise! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1335668

Reply to Engineer Assist in Ashes Support AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Thanks for that. Yes, I had noticed you can guard a factory for example to assist that. Although that does remind me that the engineers all seem to sit on top of the factory rather than at a reasonable distance, which makes it difficult to see what is going on. Second though, it'd be good to allow engineers to assist other engineers, so that little construction groups can be created. thanks

Moving to destination often gives no result in Ashes Support AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I often find I'll go to send my unit off to what looks like a valid piece of land, and you get no green line or response, and no command is given. You click around different areas and it'll accept the order when it likes the look of the area you're clicking. Perhaps the mouse pointer could indicate if the destination is valid, and/or some checking of the code that decides if a destination is ok.

Colouring of captured structures in Ashes Support AshesoftheSingularity Forums

It can be a bit difficult (at least for a newbie such as myself) to tell which power locations are owned by me. Their behaviour on selection seems a bit different, but not too obvious (I remember an orange circle or something on select, but it's more subtle in the recent build). There's a coloured strip on the power location, but it doesn't seem to turn to my team colour - I was green, but it was a powder blue colour for some reason. Maybe this could be made more

Game speed adjustment in single player in Ashes of the Singularity Founders AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I read somewhere that you guys had a game speed setting that went up to 50x. Even if I was smoking dope regarding that one, it'd be nice (in single player) to have +/- keys adjust game speed. I do prefer the more 'strategic' pace generally, and it looks like you're aiming for a more SOASE type feel, with it taking a while to send supply somewhere. Adjusting it against the PC would be nice.

Reply to Permanent vs 'this round only' buffs in Offworld Feedback Offworld Forums

I think the mechanic will work particularly with real players not AI- the tension of spending a lot on a permanent buff but reducing your chances of success in that map. Agree though that a really strong player will end up with lots of buffs. The he idea of gaining those perks for good is appealing though,mit adds continuity.

No, deficit didn't own it. Will see if I can replicate. I think you could do so by building something where: - the dome is Adjacent to your building but also the other players - the other players hq is closer to the new tile than yours is

Permanent vs 'this round only' buffs in Offworld Feedback Offworld Forums

I heard on Soren's video that getting engineers in auctions etc then remain for the remainder of your campaign. However things like patents only seem to last the current round. An indicator during the auction of which is which would be handy.

Buying vs having enough resources for purchase in Offworld Feedback Offworld Forums

It would be good if the buttons for buying things differed depending if you've got enough resources, or whether you'll need to use cash to buy some of them: green: can upgrade/purchase with existing resources blue: can upgrade/purchase but need to buy some resources from the market You can mouseover to see this but often you forget, see the button unghosted and spend all your cash inadvertently :)

Building emerging from wrong base in Offworld Feedback Offworld Forums

Minor bug. I experienced this with two pleasure domes, but others may be the same: a) I put my expansive base quite close to an AI expansive base b) Build a pleasure dome, closer to their base than yours c) The pleasure dome emerges from their base and lands, not yours.
