Map Overlays
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2015 2:57 pm
I don't know if this has been considered before, I couldn't find anything when I searched for "overlay".
What would be nice is some buttons on the large/main map to toggle overlay of specific things, independent of what is in the main window. I haven't decided whather this would be nice to have on the minimap, too.
Examples:
*Drones (robots), with numbers indicating how many of each type and coloured dots indicating their location so you can grab a few when you have a great many Roboports and even some bots in chests.*
*Pollution, independent of the alt-key display, since that toggles the display of contents/production in the main window.
*Signs (another thing I'd like to see) for labelling areas and to help remember what you planned to put "here" when you get around to it.
*Artifacts, so you can see where you left some because you wanted to not waste your combat drone timers.
*Aliens, so you can see what is under/around their ugly, red clusters of pixels. Perhaps this one should automatically toggle back on every time you open the map - just to be safe.
*Anything else anyone things would be useful in this context.
