Remove Space Platform Minimap

Post by DrakeyC »

Easy to explain why - it's useless and clutters the HUD so we can't read it. The minimap doesn't show us anything helpful, even on a huge platform bigger than the minimap I don't think it'd be much help navigating. On the other hand, its presence coupled with the platform's destination, speed, weight, etc, stats, pushes the stats of items on the cursor down so it's harder to read them. I wouldn't know platform thrusters use electricity if not for the icon flashing over them when they're low on power, because that part of their info is pushed off-screen.

I agree, or at least have a button to toggle it off. Or alternatively, cover up the minimap with the sidebar info when hovering machines.

Thirding this. I have to manually go into the options to manually toggle the minimap every time I want to design a new space platform, or else I can't read electricity consumption on any of the machines.
