Make cargo landing pads visible in map view

Post by DRY411S »

TL;DR
I'd like to be able to see the cargo landing pads more easily in map view

What?
I suggest adding an icon in map view. There's one for the silos, why not landing pads too.
Why?
Why not?
It improves game map navigation, and avoids my workaround, having to tag/pin and clutter the right hand GUI.

Cargo landind pad is a member of its logistic network.
Open Logistic networks view, find the network is should belong to, find it in the members, click on it, and it will be highlighed on the map.

You're just reinforcing my idea/suggestion by describing another convoluted way to find it. Why can I just not *see* it in map view (is my idea)?

I can indeed not spot a rocket silo. But I can spot a landing pad.

You can spot a silo by choosing to view recipe icons in map view (because a silo makes rocket parts, which is a recipe).

A landing pad does not have a recipe associated with it, so that setting does not seem appropriate to make the landing pad visible in map view.

(I'd also like to see icons for all the power reactor/generation buildings)

I'm changing the title of this idea, to make the cargo pad visible in map view.
