UI Hotbar

[SchlauFuchs]

Hi,

Can we have a hotbar for construction ease? After unlocking most building stuff, the menus get so long and I spend more time on scrolling than on building sometimes, especially, when I am to cancel bits that have gone wrong or changing the plan on the go. If I would have a button bar where I can put the ten most useful things for me that would allow me much more efficiency and lowers frustration. Almost no more scrolling for doors, heavy-wire stuff, etc.

Would be great to have the stuff you use the most in one place. Similarly i`d love to have the most important resources amounts visible in one place on the right instead of opening 5 different categories.

Maybe the game could count the number of times you place each building, and sort the menus according to these stats, so that at the beginning of a game, you have to search for what you need, but later the most used building would be place at top of the building list in each menu.

 

On the other hand, some menus ar not very well sorted at the beginning.

In the building menu, we surely use more tiles than ladders.

In the power menu, wires should be at top of the list, followed by transformers

Same for the liquid menu, pipes, pumps and valves and sensors should be sort in first place, because we build less lavatories and sink than pipes.

 

So maybe we should make a list of whath we used the most, and suggest a new sort for each building menu.

I`d hate if the game suddenly reorganised the order of items. I prefer to have control over what`s happening and manually set the order. A hotbar where i culd drag and drop the stuff i use would be better for me.
