Re: [UI Suggestion] Notification System Improvement


Great work ! I really like your idea !
Now if there was a way to classify some notifications or add more categories it would be perfect.

What I mean by that is late game I would prefer to concentrate only on fleet engagements.
I don't care if a civilian ship is being attacked or an escort.

Re: [UI Suggestion] Notification System Improvement


I think your on a path in the right direction. Anything to simplyfy notifications....GP

Thanks! I really like how this game has so much information available, think it really adds to the immersion seeing all the little working parts of your empire. It can just get a little overwhelming trying to ...

[UI Suggestion] Notification System Improvement

I think the current notification system is good and the customisation is welcome but think there is still room for improvement in how we interact with it and in the way it displays information. I'd like for notifications to be more intuitive to use whilst also providing more useful information.

Re: Is in better to mine a resource or to colonize?


Ship construction speed is based on population, I would guess a lot of other things, like mining rate, is as well. So your 30m colonists will not be as much as a dedicated mining post.

I think it all depends on whether money is important to you at the time. If it is then you 100% want to ...

Re: How to use attack points

Attack points allow you to mark enemy targets before you begin a war. Once the war commences those fleets will try and destroy them then attack targets within its engagement range or other attack points.

Re: Is in better to mine a resource or to colonize?

Personally I'd always colonise a world if it has high suitability and a decent diameter. Even if the world has the best luxury resources you'll still get those from the colony. It'll just take time before the amount you can mine takes over a mining station's mining rate.

Re: Shipbuilder menue needs desperately more subcategories

Agreed but I'd like if it was a checkbox drop down menu and you could simply tick what types of hulls you want to see. That way you can customise it to exactly what you want and it remembers the settings. I could just untick the hull types that I'm not interested in.

Hotkeys should stay the same in every playthrough. Mine have never reset. I'm guessing you play on the beta?

Re: DW2 CPU usage

I'm also curious about how the CPU scaling setting works. It mentions that it determines how much of the CPU processes are dedicated to the game and how much for rendering and background tasks. Does that mean me setting it to max is going to cause me rendering issues and problems with my systems ...

Re: Request to implement natural sorting for lists


In the meantime, rename fleets 1 through 9 by adding a space before the number, ie., change "1st Fleet" to " 1st Fleet". They will then sort ahead of fleets numbered 10 and upwards.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the space makes the game not increment the fleet number for the ...

Re: The Control Update is now available

I'm deep into my Zenox playthrough now and I have to say the changes are so good. The focus on ruins makes every discovery of a new one exciting with potentially great rewards much more than would be gained by any other race. Enjoying the game a lot and if the Atuuk and Wekkarus are as well made ...

[UI Research] Right-Click Function for More Info

I think it would be a good QoL improvement if when you right-click on a tech in the research screen it changes the info box to a description of the tech. The info can be taken directly from the Galactopedia. (see attached image for example)
