Do you have enough information to just subtract the 'stock' uplift of a specialist? Most of the tiles show the exact same information so you could probably 'infer' what they are but that would be some questionable code.
no, only the current and expected yield, as i said before. there are far too many specialist modifiers to try to infer values without engine support.
Logs/UI.log output or a saved game that can reproduce the problem.
it's not just you, i've made that mistake too! i made the change because i used to make the opposite mistake, wanting to buy stuff in a bunch of places but forgetting that i need to hit Purchase before each one. i think maybe i need to pay more attention to what i'm clicking on, haha.
So what do the flags indicate? Just that this is a science/culture/whatever building? Is this true for obsolete buildings as well? I like to dedicate quarters to science/production or culture/happiness or food/gold so spotting those quarters will be easier with these flags if that's what they are indicating as long as obsolete buildings still get the flags even though no adjacency.
specifically, the flags show which yield gets the building's adjacency bonuses. for example, Libraries get a Science bonus from adjacent resources. this is also the yield you'd get from a specialist. obsolete buildings keep their flags, even though they stop getting bonuses, because it can help you find good spots to overbuild. (ideally, i'd use a different graphic for obsolete buildings, like i do with Map Trix, but modders don't have access to custom sprite graphics yet).
Do you have access to enough information to indicate the actual adjacency bonus so obsolete would show zero's and active would show the current bonus? Related, could you show specialist counts which would of course effect the adjacency bonuses? I have yet to experience the current changes in game yet but these latest changes seem like they will help a great deal when looking at a city and trying to decide what to build next.
oh! i've seen this situation. i know what you're talking about and can probably find a test case. thanks for the report, i'll fix it as soon as i can.
that interface doesn't calculate the bonus amounts and doesn't have room to display them. the game engine doesn't have any straightforward way to get the information you've been asking for, which means that i'd need significant research to learn and imitate all of the relevant rules. it's a lot of work, and i've already told you it's out of scope for this mod. please remember that i'm a volunteer primarily making things for my personal use, and be more respectful of my time.
Great update, thank you!
I like this new feature, but would it be possible to show more than 1 adjacency? My current gameplay is with Ashoka, who gives every building a +1 happiness adjacency for improvements. Placing science or production buildings now randomly show either a happy face or a science/production icon from resources.
i'm not sure what you mean – put the hourglass icon in the new adjacency flags? unfortunately, that's not currently possible for technical reasons – there is a very limited set of sprites that i can use on that screen, and modders don't have the tech to add more yet.Great update, thank you!
One thought/suggestion: for existing warehouse buildings include the hourglass icon. This would help to parse info more quickly when placing buildings. Thanks again
