Request: Show Construction Time in Building Preview
« on: May 29, 2011, 11:44:06 am »
Planning base building is right now a real pain in the arse unless you have memorized the various construction times. It would be very helpful if the building preview float in the base building screen showed the construction time of each building, such as 12 days for power plant, 4 days for living quarters etc. It's not as if the building times are some unknown quantity. There is also plenty of space to add that information.

Mattn was very kind to add this feature immediately. *tips hat* Thank you! :D

One suggestion for prettifying it a little:

Right now the building preview float shows like this:

Cost:.................................X c
X Days to Build
Running costs:.....................X c


It would look snappier if it was like this:

Days to Build:......................X
Cost:.................................X c
Running costs:.....................X c


Or

Cost:.................................X c
Running costs:.....................X c
Days to Build:......................X


In any case, it is mainly cosmetics. I'm happy to have the feature in the first place, but sooner or later someone is going to bring up the same issue.
