Please add descriptions to the hidden tag of new prototypes such as space-locations

Post by bunshaman »

Some of the new prototypes (such as space-locations, planets, etc) do not have helpful descriptions under their respective pages. In the past, the descriptions would be helpful (see the 3 links), now with no descriptions it becomes unclear what the exact intended behavior is.

For example, the space location prototypes having hidden = true seems to only hide these locations on the space map and in the inventory. However, the location is still visible everywhere else in the game such as in the platform schedules, and the last visited stop/destination under the mini map. Is this a bug? or is this intended behavior? More descriptions would help clear this up

Actually, most new prototypes (and new properties for old ones) have unhelpful or absent descriptions.
