Can you add icons to all the buildings in the building menu? You have a icons on the different mines, adding them to the other buildings will make it a lot easier and quicker to find the building I want to build.
I am a little confused by your request. All buildings in the build menu are represented by icons you have to click on to select which building you want to build.
Sorry, I could have been clearer. What I should have said was that I would like an icon of the item that the building produces in addition to the icon of the building itself. The mines have icons of the items they produce, steel ingots for example. I’d like an item icon on each building to make it easier to locate the building I want to build.
That could be hard to implement considering most buildings produce more than one thing. Upgrading many buildings can produce even more things. Some buildings don’t produce anything at all. They just consume. You can still mouse over a building to see what it produces, but I’m afraid you’ll just have to get used to what the buildings are called and what the icons look like. Even I usually have to use mouse over to verify what I am looking at before I click it. It doesn’t take long.
The reason the mines have icons over them is because they are made using the same or very similar icons because they look the same on the map. The ore type or ingot type was the only way that made sense to tell them apart.
Maybe an option to list the buildings in a text list instead of pictures would suit your needs best. This could be considered an accessibility feature.
I think its doable. For those buildings that produce more than one item, the, ahem, iconic item could be used. For example the bakery could show a loaf of bread, the armory a shield. We’ll see what the devs say.
They might make this a modder task as all it does is replace existing images. Once could create an entire overlay of new icons and create an option menu item to toggle them in over the old ones.
