Dual colors for lightning protection coverage overlay

Post by SimpleID »

Add a color distinction between the current lightning protection coverage and the impact of a potential lightning rod addition/removal.
Suggestion:
-When you have a lightning rod in hand, use a different color/tone for the potential coverage gain if this rod was built.
-When you hover over a built rod, use a different color/tone for the potential coverage loss if this rod was deconstructed .

Also add different colours for areas covered by lighting rods, lighting collectors, and lightning attractors (which are the pre-existing lightning protection systems you find among the ruins. Since they return different amounts of power - in the case of the lightning attractors, no power at all - it's important to know that.

I support this. It would be a nice feature.
I struggled a bit when upgrading from rod to attractor and when trying to maximize the coverage with minimal rods, since I used quality items which were limited.
