Game mechanic info should be present in the game

[ainii]

I realise after 100 hours I've but a basic clue about a few critters and plants, that's it

The game should represent the info better on tool-tips (not the hard to navigate encyclopedia) about what does X plants or Y critter do, and a tip (this creature can later be used to harvest clothing material) or (this plant provides warmth in addition to small food supply)

Same with machines, currently the info about Power Consumption and all the others are in tiny font next to where u click it, and to make it worse if the other machines have different properties they jump rows

ie.

text
Power consumption
text

in

text
text
text
Power consumption
text

add in the small font and this is really hard for me to keep and try to memorize and usually I just forget about all the stuff.

I don't want the game to be easier but to provide info better on how to tackle its challenges with informed decisions and then learn as you play along.

It's been a whole 6 hours. I decide to incorporate A Water Sieve.

 

"look it must be nice it says right here "PRODUCES CLEAN WATER FROM POLLUTED WATER using sand, produces polluted dirt."
some time later I go on thinking why is my whole water source infected with germs, I made extra sure nobody was going vomiting or with unwashed hands to pick up water in this base.

OHH the game didn't tell this info that clean water doesn't mean the same as germ free water, gee should have known that one...... only remark this is in very fine print in the bottom of the sieve text.

Man the game is fine but the info availability is horrible if you have to read every tiny bit of information with dyslexia until you're (afraid no longer it will ruin your whole base) confident to use things. We need better info availability
