Suggestions for Ui


Recommended Posts

Okay so honestly I feel that  This UI change sounds good in development but there is certainly some controversy
I mostly preferred simple ways to answer problems so here are some suggestions.

I feel it would just be better to have the original UI with extra tabs for all the filters so that way everyone can see what does what
this would allow for mod support too to adjust for  those who like and dislike certain aspects of the UI
This also allows you to keep the speed of the original crafting system  While also catering to new players While also letting the developers add in new crafting that the player can keep without needing to stay by a station.

Second add on would be changing the capslock function.
when you pressed capslock on the origninal crafting Ui it would bring out this left to right crafting grid This was to be able to craft using nothing but a keyboard.
I feel this function should still exist because it is the way that controller players craft.
But  I suggest adding a new button that would Pull out the New UI For detailed crafting and search.

So, like pressing C with the new UI?

They do have something dedicated however it does not work as smoothly as the original UI
The live version is still only a few days old and its also going to take some time for mods to adjust things.
to me thats just how its going to have to be.

It really does seem strange though that klei willl actually shoot themselves here
They must really be confident in what they are going to bring up in the future that they would be willing to lose a chunk of the playerbase.

Whats important though is to think What does the Chinese playerbase think of the update.
They have more time and hours on this than any of us

LOL

I think vertical design will block less of the screen and that's good. Currently, the menu blocks more than 1/3 width of the screen, which is actually an issue for me. The current design tries to make the background of the menu sort of transparent, but it's not transparent enough for me. It really should just remove those semi-transparent area and make it hollow. Too much filler area that is meaningless to the menu itself, but only serves aesthetics purpose.

I used to like moving while read crafting menu, scrolling and thinking about the next thing to do. Now, I find myself only open crafting menu at nights or stationary at peaceful times, which is simply not satisfying. It's a previously routine multitasking made impossible in this new design. Now I use camera angle mod in order to reduce the blockage, but it's not completely satisfying as everything becomes too small, but it seems the only solution for now.

(Vertical design doesn't refer to OP's exact suggestions. It just means arranging both menu icons and item icons vertically side by side, rather than horizontally top and bottom.)
