Domelo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hi, I've started playing the game a few days ago, I think it is awesome and I love it. One of the things that I like the most is the ability to solve the problems via retrospection. When the cycle finishes, I can see undersuply and oversuply of resources (oxygen, energy, food), the time spent on each task, and use that information to improve my base. I don't like wasting resources, my heart hurts when I see my dupes wasting time doing unecessary tasks or going to unecessary places, even more now with the occupational update test. I don't know if i'm too noob, but I have to spend a lot of time to figure which door permits to grant and which work errands to assign. Monitoring the dupes to make these decisions feels impractical in a lot of ways, the only tools I have now is the time breakdown (report) and looking at them working (and maybe the navigation lines). I would like to quickly see where the dupe went, and decide if I want him to be there or not. I'm suggesting a space breakdown, a position heatmap. But why do I need this?: It will help manage door permissions I can see where the decoration expectation is critical Improvement via retrospection I won't enter into details how this could work (Choosen interval or daily? Overlay or Report? Indidual? Per job? Colors?). I want to see if this idea is interesting or I just need to git gud. If you don't know what a heatmap is: This one shows the players (10 players, 5 on each side) movement in a pro CS:GO match. (Map: Cobble). The intensity of the orange is relative to the total time spent on that area. Same for Dota2's (10 players too, 5 on each side), but with a color scale. . ( These examples are weak, I couldn't find the ones that I would like to show, but some professional teams in these games analyze the heatmap of individual players on rival teams to counter them in official matches (In CS:GO sometimes legendary AWPers get beaten because of this). We could use this to counter dupes bad decisions. P.S.: It has a lot of uses outside of gaming too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Looks awesome, would be nice to be able to flip between this and a duplicant highlighting mode ( shows dupes in color for easy location ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
