Memos for other player (or note to self)

[alex8d]

I would love something like these memos on the map when I join an empty multiplayer server (e.g. I'm the only one playing, guys will join later) or even when I'm playing alone since it helps me track down what needs to be done next time I start playing.



Just my two cents though

I've wished for this, too. I keep a to-do list in a text editor, but it would be nice to have it saved with the game, and also to have notes tied to particular places in the world.

That would be a great to have feature.

Yeah that would be cool feature. Plus you could create a temporary blinking point on the map to show other players where to go next or something like that.

Yes, that is another possible use. I often have a hard time telling other players where should they head to by just looking at the map

Great idea. Countless times I've told myself "I will fix this belt in five minutes", only to come back to that place hours later wondering why I've completely run out of iron and coal A big annoying siren every five minutes would be good as well

Great, let's hope someone of the staff will take a look at this then and decide for themselves

Also it would be cool if you could assign a timer and some warning to these notes, like if you know that something will run out of resources in about 30 minutes, and needs your assistance. Like it was in the very first settlers game (good old memories)

Good idea. Warnings or memos linked to the system could also be great.

Sorry for bumping this but I had another good idea linked to this one:

I often check for trains to do the right thing correctly in the map with radar-covered zones. It would be great to ask in the map "Please alert me once when a train stops at this station" so I can get something like

Code: Select all

- Train "NameOfTheTrain" just stopped at "Iron5"
- Train "NameOfTheTrain" just stopped at "Copper2"

and then I would say "crap, I mixed iron and copper in the same train.. I must have screwed something"
