New R&D Console/Autolathe Menu

Post by Scones » #54645

I thought I would like it, but oh my god this has to go. ESPECIALLY for the R&D console. It is so fucking tedious, I don't know where half the shit is (This might change in time, I guess), but having the list was so much more efficient if only for cmd+f.

It sounds so dumb and whiny but I had to idea just how horrid this was until I tried to do R&D today. Can we at least make it a setting?

Just slap on an "all" category. Or a "categories" tab.

At least this way we won't have to put up with missing designs anymore...

Major Problems with it


Teleporter Board is not in teleporter menu


How about making a menu for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Stock Parts


Tier 3 ex: Picomanip, Super matterbins, Phasic Scanner, Ultra-High power micro laser, super capacitor

Fix circuit imprinter from going back to menu after every creation

Is there anyway to make these a drop down list thing

Like when you use a spoiler
instead of switching to a different window? That would fix most of my issues with it.

Probably possible but nobody on the team has any experience with competent website design or anything else necessary to do that.

But I'd love to be wrong.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Feedback is dumb and it doesn't matter

As a long time RD player I'd love to see a less clutter menu for the console and autholathe menu. Organization tiers like:
Power Tech: Power cells,capcitors
Experimental Weapons: Ion guns,tasers,advanced e-guns,etc,etc
Advanced Equipment: Welding gasmask, NVGs, Telescopic sheild,etc
Mining Equipment: Drills,mesons, pickaxes
Blue Space Tech: BoHs,crystals(useless now), beakers, hand-held teleporter
Material Manipulation: Lasers,Matter bins,Matter Manipulators

Even subsets of those being like:
Medbay Sleeper and Cyro Upgrades
Cloning and genetics upgrades
Mech Bay Upgrades
R&D upgrades.
