suggestion I come with a few suggestions~

This was posted on the Steam forum a while back but since I now made an account here, I'll post here too.
It's very possible some, or all of these have been discussed before and I apologize before hand.

Hello!

First, I love this game, it's quickly turned into one of my favorite games of all time.
I love figuring out good water and gas systems, it's one of the most satisfying things I've experienced in a game for a long time, when things work the way you had hoped that is.


Some suggestions though, that might get updated later.

To reduce the absolute annoyance of the AI; Allow for fine tuning priorities, for example, a Groundskeeper/Plumber that only repairs.
Being able to do this with everything in the game would be a godsend.
This would even include things like eating, been far too many times when a starving duplicant just leaves food. Likely because of how AI works, I assume duplicants chooses what to do, and if someone chooses to eat the food, no matter how far away they are, nobody else can eat it? Change this if that's the case pl0x.
___________________________________________________________________________________
A suggestion that sort of ties in with the above one.
Allow for telling plumbers to straight away go repair something, clicking on the broken thing would have a button for this, could perhaps need a system like maybe add a new item, kinda like speakers, and they'd have to be placed in the room the plumber is in for them to hear it.
(Basically needing a speaker in every room lol)
___________________________________________________________________________________

Add a job that specifically handles gasses, or make that another job for the plumber.
Clicking on a single tile of Hydrogen (example) would have an option to make plumbers/new job sucking it out. Perhaps you'd need to build something somewhere for them to know where to take it.
___________________________________________________________________________________

For cancelling and destroying; Give us an option to choose multiple things to cancel/destroy, not just all and specifics.
As an example, when I'm destroying pipes/vents/wires, I'm always in these modes, so it would be nice to be able to specifically turn off the destruction of these when not in these modes, would make things so much easier.
Also, make bridges included in their specific categories, instead of them being counted as building.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Add an item much like ladders but are faster to both build and destroy, to make it just that little bit faster to build rooms that are that little bit too high.
And how about giving the architect increased building range at max architect job, like 1 or 2 tiles.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Let us create the first three Duplicants. But keep the shuffle button for people who still want to randomize it.
Yes, one could just take any, but you obviously want the best start possible.
Some negative traits are just much worse than others, so you keep pressing shuffle until you get 3 dupes with good combinations of attributes and no horrible traits/stress reactions.
Simply give the option to create the first three, all the others will still be randomized.
You get a set number of points that you can distribute yourself (8~10?)
You have to pick one Negative trait and one Positive trait, you cannot pick more than one of each (unlike randomized ones that can have multiple of either) and you also have to pick a stress reaction.
Interests would be optional but max 2? Either that or randomize this once Embark is pressed.
___________________________________________________________________________________

When clicking around in storage/critter feeders it currently resets, going back up to the top, having you scroll down every single time you click on a drop down menu, this gets very frustrating and would certainly love to see that the scrolling goes to the last drop down menu you pressed automatically (far enough for the thing you clicked to be at the top)
And yes, my vocabulary is limited, and can't be bothered looking up the terms for the scrolly thing.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Allow for "building" things even if you don't have the materials, so that you can plan out your base during times where not much happens.
___________________________________________________________________________________

When putting down any tile, display a number counting the number of tiles you're putting down somewhere, cleanest and most obvious place would be right next to the mouse cursor.
___________________________________________________________________________________

More tile tools in general, for quicker building, for example, options to choose between drawing a line, making squares, and a circle.
When making either of these, also display the size of the room it would create. Allow for quickly replacing blocks with doors if they are not yet built.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Make doors much like tiles, where you can build doors that are bigger or smaller.
When building the door, clicking would make doors as they are now, holding down would let you drag it to create bigger or smaller doors.
Possibly limit it to min 1 tile (duh) and max 4 or 5.

17 hours ago, Kats said:

Keybind for locking horizontally/diagonally, as in when building, holding either of these buttons down will lock it so you can only draw a straight line.

I believe the Shift key does this.

You are absolutely correct.

Thank you.
