A couple newb questions |
Hi folks,
I'm enjoying the game so far, especially with this new patch. Some newb questions:
1. The manual explains most but not all of the colony icons. I'm befuddled by two in particular. One features a rectangle composed of alternating yellow and dark hash marks, with a 3D cube inside. The other looks sorta like a shield to the left of a document or letter. These icons don't match any in the planet's details screen.
2. Is there any way to check what facilities are on a particular planet when you're accessing that planet's build queue from the Shift-Q build menu? The only way I see is to click on the upper-left hand corner (the general description of that planet), then click on the "facilities" tab of the planet detail screen. That works, but it's a bit tedious. I wish the picture of the surface in the "build" screen showed what facilities were on this particular planet.
3. How can I center the view on the active ship? I use space to find next ship, which works, but it doesn't center the view on the ship -- it just takes me to the appropriate solar system.
So far the game seems quite deep, and I haven't been affected by any bugs yet in this new patch. Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide.
Probably not....
I don't think you can do either of these.
You can view the planet's facilities in a couple of ways. But both require a number of clicks. First, you can click on the colony and then click on the facilities tab. Or, you can create a custom view that shows all the facilities for each colony. But that... that is just WAY too much information in one place. It would be much, much nicer if that view was a treeview that let you expand out just one colony.
Still, the custom views feature in SEV is about a gazillion times better than SEIV.
Another Newb question
I played a lot of SE IV, so this is sorta emabarassing to ask, but how the heck do you scrap facilities that are already built?? I cannot find a command to do that after much searching...

LOL everyone who got this
LOL everyone who got this game has asked the same question. Its under the Cargo button at the loweer right. SEV considers Facilities cargo.
the first is yoru space
the first is yoru space yeard construction queue I think. And empty rectangle means nothing is in the queue.
For number 2, I think given the flexibility of the layouts, you may be able to custome design something that will accomplish what you're talking about.
Dont' know #3.
