Suggestion - planetary approval information minor change

from GalCiv3 Forums

When I am planning buildings in the planet screen, I like to build as many farms as possible while keeping approval at 100%. I find this to be the most efficient planet design in terms of maximizing population and approval bonuses. But, on the planetary screen, while I can see that approval is 100%, I cannot see how much population can increase before approval will start to suffer. To get this information, I have to open the tool tip. I'd like to see the approval information include the ratio as well as the percentage without having to open the tool tip. It would look something like this "100% (10/7.9)" instead of just "100%"

I made the same request way back in beta or early release stage of the game never got a lot of response

I think the primary difficulty is that it will eat up valuable real estate in the summary box.

Notice the column layout of that pane; the right column with the numbers in it can't drift over into the left column with the stat.

To do what you want would have to increase that box width by at least 10 or more characters.  Not such a big deal on a 2500x1600 screen, but I'm pretty sure this screen is optimized for something not any larger than 1280x768, and that's a lot of space to give up.

Take a look at how cramped the current planet summary screen is at the minimum resolution:  go to Options, set your resolution to 1280x768, and then start up a new game. There's really no extra space for even those 10 characters.
