Well, most UI designers know you make the most used functions the easiest and quickest to access. Not sure why they nested the most used function (retrieve) so deep and made it require so many clicks.


A simple Retrieve All Resources on the main menu would have been so much nicer. And putting Status, an Add Power edit box and Add Maint edit box on one single control. Click Status. See what you need to add. Type in thetwo numbers to add for power and maint. Click ok.


Not that they will ever get around to improving the UI, but I can dream...

ROFL I fell outta my chair blowing hot coffee through my nose and scared my non-declawed cat in my lap..... It went like this...


*read*


*laugh hard spewing coffee through nose*


*spill coffee as cats claws sank into my legs*


*fell on the floor grabbing my shirt where I spilled the coffee*


*laughed uncrontrolably for a couple minutes as cats hid under the bed..i think that's where they went*


OW! LOL

Finally! Something that I didn't do! I came soooo close to doing the same thing. I was very tired and I racing the server shut down notice, that I almost lost 42k of wood in a High Capacity Flora Farm. I am amazed that I didn't! I really feel for all of you who did lose resources because of this.
