progress bar update

Post by cj11701 »

the progress bar should display the percentage of completed research/production in real time.
could be handy
im sure this is very difficult to code, i am a computer idiot and can only imagine how long this would take.
i never expect to see this addition, but thought it would be fun to say it anyways.

could be used not only with research and production but with and construction and weapons reloading and VTOLs!

@cj11701
I'm afraid you'll have to wait until it is included in the latest version of the game (I think it's a nice feature and worthy of inclusion).
Alternatively you download the source code, apply the patch and compile the build yourself (this might require some knowledge).

I like that one :)
But I´d better like the remaining time to be displayed right above the research facility. Like that the remaining time wouldn´t overlay with the progress bar.
I just made a quick edit with paint to show what I mean, please don´t mind the creapy look^^

For people owning a little display (like a small monitor or laptop) it may be difficult to read the numbers. For then you can have a look at the progress bar and/or the time remaining

Less cluttered, that is true, but then the information is in the wrong place. It belongs to the item, not to the lab.

I think people will be able to reason that the time belongs to the item and not to the lab itself. What else shall be meant? The lab neets to be finished to start researching so the time can´t belong to the lab...?

If they need to think, you have designed it wrong.
