The Upgrade Planner offers no information or visual cues of how it is to be used. Clicking on any box - in the left or right columns - opens a dialog box with a title of "Select upgrade" offering no clue of the intended purpose of the columns. Hovering over the boxes doesn't show any tooltip.

Here are my suggestions: A visual cue (arrow?) between the source/target upgrade columns. A tooltip when hovering over the boxes to indicate their purpose. And a title change for the item selector dialog (ie. "Select current item" vs "Select upgrade").

I understand that 0.17 has a lot of focus on new players and I think this dialog needs some basic visual cues.

Thanks

Thanks for the report but this is already known. The GUI hasn't been worked on as part of the GUI update.

I'm glad to hear that you're aware of the issues. But for future reference, how do I determine what I should report? I searched up references to the upgrade planner and saw no mentions specifically about the dialog UI. There are a number of other (relatively minor) UI issues I'd like to raise.

Probably :

Where can I find a live version of that graph?

I don't think there is one. Regardless, it's not a bad thing to report what you think is a bug even if it gets moved to not a bug. If I were one of the devs I'd be happy the player base is speaking up at all. I know I find myself not bothering to report bugs with other systems, assuming they're already known/being worked on/not worth reporting/etc.

Is it planned that we can save different configurations with one planner tool like in the mod?
