Entrails Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 After today's update the resource list is collapsed into small box in the upper right hand corner. Was this change intentional, or a bug? I am very much not liking it. I have to scroll through a list to find resource amounts now instead of just looking at a glance. I am running on a 2560x1600 monitor in full screen mode, in case this is relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaphodCortez Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Check the update post on the front page of the forum, it's intentional. I am playing at a much lower resolution, so for me it's a great change. Though don't worry, I think they might adjust it again as you suggest. Maybe they'll make it a toggle on the option menu, that'd be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entrails Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks, I missed out on the line item on the update post somehow. Yes, please make this an optional toggle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForBaal Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It should be resizable, if that's a hassle then an option to toggle back to the old way would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyPale Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 In the meantime, I would recommend the 'Favorites Category' mod. It creates a Favorite's category at the top of your resources, which you can then fill with whatever resources you'd like to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I actually really like this change. It makes building on the right side of the screen easier (though the camera shouldn't be limited) and it makes cycling through a resource easier.

Let me ask you though: at what resolution are playing? This is new scroll bar list on my screen. Opening 2 sections means I need to scroll to see the rest. Spoiler This is old resource list on my screen. Four sections open, everything readable. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is new scroll bar list on my screen. Opening 2 sections means I need to scroll to see the rest. Hide contents This is old resource list on my screen. Four sections open, everything readable. Hide contents I play at 1080p with 80% UI scaling (which I had to decrease to be able to build on the side of the screen). I believe 1080p is the most common resolution. I also tend to have a lot of these tabs open, or want to have more of them open than would fit. I believe if I were to have those menus open at 1080p, they would be unreadable at the bottom because they would go off the screen (though I would be wrong about that). Out of curiosity, why do you need to know at a glance how many raw materials or food you have at all times? We already have a nice view of how many kcals we have, and whenever you build, it tells you how many raw materials you have. I am not opposed to it being resizable, but I think the collapsible option is great and the scroll bar is really nice because it enhances the utility of the resource list. I think we could both be happy if we had three levels of collapsed. The non-collapsed, the fully collapsed, then "open menus only." On the old screen at 1080p, try to cycle through your eggs to find that slickster egg that isn't where its supposed to be. The details on the egg would get in the way, even with all the other menus closed and you couldn't do it without having to solve a puzzle "Which menus do I have to open to get the slickster egg to appear below the material details window but above the commands at the bottom right?"

That makes sense. What resolution are you playing at? I believe that the UI choice that they implemented is superior to what existed before, as it got in the way in common resolutions. I also think that they should add some customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrang Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 That change makes monitoring resources a lot of harder for me. In current state I definitely prefer the old way. If it was resizable then it would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrang Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It is a common problem of ONI that windows are not resizable and not movable. They are fixed. Lets hope Klei will revise that usability issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLW Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Even on 1080p it's a detriment. Or rather, the scrollbar and collapsible resources? Great idea. The fixed (and tiny) height? Not such a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
