Small complaints about the 'crop field'-UI

Hi, I really like the game and the work you did so far!

That said, about the window that opens when the player clicks a ‘crop field’:

Most importantly: it happened several times to me, that I wanted to remove a crop that I had selected from a season and pressed ‘Delete’ on my keyboard in the expectation that it would remove the highlighted crop. Instead the damn thing asks whether I want to remove the field itself, which is really counterintuitive and also punishing if you accidentally click ‘yes’, since this means a few thousand units of work and lost crops for nothing. That is pretty annoying.

And another thing that would simply be nice:

the two <= Arrows => at the top to select the prev/next field are really great in principle, and for other buildings they work great, since their context windows are aligned at the right of the screen. So when you click them, they keep their position, and you can see the building in question on the map.

But the ‘crop fields’-window is centered, and when clicked it always re-centers the window position again, even when the player moved the window to see the actual field in question behind it. So this always resets the window position and blocks the view again.

Related to this: when crops have a disease the height of this window changes and that means that the y-position of the arrows wobbles up/down, and it’s never possible to simply click through all fields without moving the mouse.

It would be super nice if this window could either just ‘remember’ where the players positioned it (because they moved them for a reason), or if you aligned it also to the right or left of the screen (like the rest of the building UI), so we can actually see the fields. Oh, and stop wobbling. :slight_smile:

I came here to post about the crop fields UI but then I saw your post. I agree with your suggestions although I had a different one. I’d want there to be a tool tip just to see which crops are on rotation this year with estimated yield. I dread clicking on my fields and being assaulted by that giant info screen…

Although I didn’t have too much of this problem, I think this will make the game better.
