i A reworked for the chat messages about enemy technology progression

4 months ago

It pisses me off that whenever I am doing anything, waiting for research, designing anything. It appears in chat. The drowning messages of "They just researched that useless thing" is not a big problem for people without a lot of mods, but as soon as you have a bunch of early game addons, you just get spammed with technology that doesn't do anything for them.

My idea is just to either only make those messages appear when you are looking at castra, or just a radar that shows you what technology they have gottem and are researching. This additionally could output circuit conditions somewhere in the future, but it would have the great effect of not drowning a player when they are working on something about "Renai transportation express zipline trolley unlocked, starting the nuclear rocket-powered..."

It is the only reason I have removed this planet from my playthroughs, because I couldn't see what I have researched on chat myself or see what other friends told me in chat.

I'm mainly asking for a simple button in the mod config that would just hide all of these messages. To make it feel less annoying.
