i Minor suggestion

(updated 4 years ago)

I haven't play with it yet, barely install it, but i can suggest something.

  • Index sort order (idk the technical jargon)
    Better to show it with this mock up i made:

    Currently the order were C-D-S
    IMO, it would more sense if the order were D-C-S, since well...my production mindset goes from depot, supplier then consumer.

  • Train stop graphic
    I know you mention currently the graphic is still a placeholder, i'm just throwing idea here:
    Better to show it with this mock up i made:

    Just put a letter like TSM (Train Supply manager) does., but also follow the color it use.
    It would make convenient, less confusing for those that want to try-out or switch mod, since the color/ letter is the same.
     
    The difference is, there's also the SAM Logo on bottom, so you can use it as a way to cover the "entity-name.st-data-entity" in depot/supplier stop.

  • Same goes for the icon in the crafting list, it just mimic their object counterpart, like this :

Note : All mockup made in photoshop, not sure how it would look like in the game.

Edit :
Ooh, almost forgot, if you decide to use the letter approach i mention, don't forget to use thin overlay on the letter, since dark color (like blue/red) is being wash out, as you can see in the TSM example, the bottom stop use blue letter "R", it's hard to see even on the daylight.

In the mockup, i use a grey outline, 1 pixel wide.

Some variation of this will be in the next release. Someone has contacted me about doing graphics though so hopefully that works out!
