[Not-really-a-bug] Game finished screen is too detailed

Post by Dev-iL »

So this isn't really a bug, so much as it something that doesn't quite make sense.
What I did in this map was get in a car and run over some things, then I died and was presented with the following "game finished" screen:

There are several peculiarities here:
  • Aside from biters, all things are inanimate objects, and as we all know, one "can't really kill" them.
  • In terms of trees there's way TMI - IMHO, trees should be grouped into just one item - Trees. I guess a similar thing would happen for rocks etc. I understand that this may be useful for development purposes, but for players it's pretty meaningless.
  • As for landmines - these are things that "kill themselves" when triggered by biters, so it's not really correct to count them as player kills (unless they belong to some enemy team and were destroyed using grenades or something of that sort).

Um. What about the fact that a game about mass production and automation decides that, out of all things, the player wants to know their KILL COUNT?

Can I harvest biters instead of killing them?

I also miss an all time statistics of produced stuff. We're currently running a huge game where the 50h history is just a tiny part of all. The total play time of that mp map is around 400h. Currently 350h of production are "lost"/inaccesible. Could be implemented as a live view via "p" right to the 50h andaswell as a summarizing overview at the end of the game.
