[Klonan] [0.18.38] Missleading tooltip in shortcut menu

Post by ickputzdirwech »

Steps to reproduce
  • have construction robotics researched in any save
  • start a new game
  • set shortcut bar rows to 1
Bug
Blueprint tools not in the shortcut bar show "This shortcut requires the Construction robotics technology." when you hover over the tick box. This is not the real reason why you can't tick the box, however. Instead it should say "Cannot dock more items to the shortcut bar."
Mods: Shortcuts for 1.1, ick's Sea Block, ick's vanilla tweaks
Tools: Atom language pack
Text quickly seems cold and unfriendly. Be careful how you write and interpret what others have written.
- A reminder for me and all who read what I write

I'm not sure they are related,

The checkbox tells you at any oppourtunity what technology it needs

That's exactly what I am complaining about ;) For the alt-mode the tooltip is way more useful since it will actually say the reason why you can't dock the shortcut to the shortcut bar.

Ok, I fixed it for the next release

Now if it can't be enabled because of the dock being too small, it primarily show that as the reason

And it won't show the reason if its already enabled
