Some usability improvements

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hi,

 

There are some basic commands that I couldn't work out, maybe they exist I'm not sure.

 

1. Select all units of a certain type on screen. This should be a double click on a unit to select all units of that type, makes army management so much easier.

 

2. Remove unit from production queue. Should be right click, at the moment I can't work out how to remove a unit from the queue at all. This was a real problem when I had multiple factories all waiting on radiation, perhaps this is possible but I couldn't seem to work it out. It should be intuitive.

 

3. The ui elements should be able to be moved around, they seem fixed in place but it would be good to be able to move things like army 1, production etc to different parts of the screen just by clicking and dragging the elements.

 

4. Patrol, couldn't work out how to set waypoints in a pattern , seemed like a unit would patrol from where it is currently to where you click, really need to be able to hold shift and click to set waypoints for patrol.

1. Coming in a patch soon

2. Left click the unit in queue

4. It works, but I don't know the process off hand, which means the mechanism could stand to be improved.

Groupy 2 - Organize multiple applications into grouped tabs on your Windows desktop
