Merged with: Counter of Resources in Production Buildings

A

Currently, resources that are in production buildings inputs / outputs do not show in the warehouse or other counters. That is fine.

However, it would be good to access that information somewhere. For example, if I have 0 planks and I mouse over the Plank Count, there is a plank tooltip. This tooltip could list the plank count but also list the count of items in inputs outputs

eg the tooltip instead of
"0" could say
"Storage / Input / Output
0 / 20 / 0"

New players frequently get confused by all their resources going missing, and realising that a lot of resources are stuck on an input / output could really help with understandability.

I'd like to request an overlay that shows what resources are consumed in buildings, similar to the Recipes Overlay, which shows what resources are produced. I have some difficulty optimizing production chains on higher difficulties where a lot of things are going on at the same time and I think this would be a great help to do so.

I love the list of what buildings can craft what items. I wish we also had a way or side menu of what building are using.

e.g. How many buildings are using fabrics and how much do they need per turn.

A tab that allows you to see how many of each resource is currently being produced, and at what rate.
So when I get Cornerstone option to get 1 wheat per 60seconds, or 3 fiber per 60 seconds, I can check and see if I'm already getting one, or both, and which is faster.
Would also show current bonuses to production, and speeds.

It would be extremely helpful to have a page that lists all buildings that produce and/or consume resources, and have a summary of the production/consumption of each resource by each building. Ideally, possible production/consumption (but not currently happening) would be displayed as grayed out and/or an icon, but still listed.

I'd like some way to review the resources created in my settlement over time, either at the end of the settlement's run, or possibly even during play. This way, I can learn how effective certain buildings were, what worked well, or maybe just where all my food went.

I don't imagine this data would be saved after I leave a settlement, but I think it would be a useful tool for me to review the supply chains I built, and help me improve my strategies for future settlements.

There should be an overview of all the goods, and especialy in WHICH Building and for WHAT Product they are needed.

Instead of clicking all the possible buildings, it would be such a relief if I could click on wood and could see all the reasons it is currently needed for.

Can you please add a way to see how frequent a resource is coming in vs how much is being used.
Example:

Wood Used 4/min
Sometimes its a bit difficult towards the more later game buildings to know if a resource is being used up elsewhere or not.

Reply

Yeah, there should be some way to check in/out of the various resources and products ; it should possibly be tracked what building is using it and how much of it.
For example last game i was kinda bamboozled by the fact i couldn't understand where my wood planks actually ended up.
Seems like i had left open the option to create 'bulding provisions' on the Makeshift Post and that was the problem.. but i kinda had a hard time figuring it out among all other buildings.
Honestly i have just 10h on the game atm and it's nothing a decent use of the recipe screen can't handle ; still, it could help.. also stats are cool; on bigger maps with lots of buildings which use the same resources it could definitely help though.

Even to just see a list of recently created items would be useful, like a queue that was completed. It would be nice to see a list of items that aren't being made as well. So if, for example, you got a building to make Coats but forgot to start production on Coats, you could see that somewhere.

Love the game, but a giant thorn in my side is the obtuse consumption rates of consumables.

Since workforce and building materials are a scarce resource, it would be very nice to have a window that tells you that rain coats are going at 5/min.

The wonky ratios between intermediaries and end product are fine I guess. I can live with that. Just please let me know how many biscuits are eaten every minute.

Click wood to see what buildings are using it, would be easier to see what is eating all the wood if its the hearth or some refining buildings.
Clicking wood would show a chart where for example the hearth would be using 30 wood per hour or whatever and then next on the list would be smokehouse using 15 and then lumber mill using 10.... and so on and on

It should be possible to see in a menu in which building / recipe a certain resource is currently used. So it can be avoided that a resource is consumed excessively.
An income / consumption statistic would also be very helpful to deversify his consumption as much as possible.

In game, I constantly find myself looking for a dashboard of the current production and consumption of both raw and craftable resources.

Maybe this already exists and I haven't advanced far enough? Thanks!

Don't get me wrong, the UI isn't bad, but it's difficult to figure out who is doing what exactly. I would request a menu that allows you to overview all the production of your buildings and to be able to control it from there so that you can compare what is being done where and when and have better overall control over it. As it stands right now I have to sort through every building individually and it's very difficult and tedious to track.

I often get totally confused when ingredients aren't going to where I expect, especially late-game, when I'm doing an important Glade event that will wreak havoc soon. Ex: Event needs 15 tools, I have 5 mins to create and move them over so I boost or establish production, only to find out that they've disappeared? Or at least I have no clue where they've gone.

A new UI (pain in the butt I know) that shows the flow of where crafted items and ingredients are feeding into would be great. At the moment it's just "hope you remember to turn things off", which isn't fun per se.

Inspired by the menu found in Factorio, this overview would show the average rate of production and consumption of crafting materials and consumables per minute. This would allow for optimization of the economy and help in diagnosing issues like "why do I not have enough flower to make biscuits", making clear if the issue requires greater grain production or needs more mills to grind grain

Reply

Brent OBrien

This is a really nontrivial issue... Woodcutting, as an example, requires the woodcutter to walk to a tree, cut it, then walk back, and for every 10+ trips, depending on how much storage you have, for woodcutters to then carry the wood to the town hall, depending on how much carrying capacity they have (which means you have breakpoints, where 6 might be carried, then 4 carried to finish off the 10 capacity, or even 5 if 1 more arrives from another woodcutter). To display an accurate production per minute, the calculation would need to take into consideration all of those current distances, worker movespeeds, including roads, and how that changes over time as trees are felled and the distances change.

PLUS, workers take breaks. They go to their house/the hearth and eat food and consume services. This is insane to predict/calculate per worker, when each worker rolls what they want to consume/where they want to go?

And all of these things are effected by modifiers. Faster movement on roads, slower movement in rain without housing, etc. etc. etc.

The best that could be reasonably done, is probably the +/- you have produced in the last X time, or a graph showing your stock over time, NOT a forward prediction of production. Production is NOT comparable to factorio, where buildings are just a machine that produces X parts per minute, nor frostpunk, where the people moving around are just visual candy while the building produces exactly 120 coal per minute that magics itself into the stockpile or whatever building consumes it.

That or some very vague approximation that would probably anger people when they realize it isn't accurate.

Consumption rates should be a bit more consistent though, and would be nice.

But this is still a complex calculation, that shouldn't have effort applied to it until all other game systems are basically finalized. Every balance change has the capacity to nuke this effort.

Yes, I would absolutely love to see an expected consumption rate per minute given my current village. It is really hard to judge how frequently my village is eating and consuming service items and thus really difficult to judge how much food/goods production I should have in order to meet those demands,

The resources at the top of the screen just show green/red arrows that indicate you're producing or losing those resources, and it's not really enough information.

Late into a run when you're juggling a handful of different buildings, I want to be able to know what is using all my wood, and clicking through all the buildings on my settlement to see which ones have wood consuming recipes is a bit of a pain. Being able to click on the wood icon to bring up an info window of the buildings that use it, and then clicking that building to automatically pan the camera to it would be nice.

Solution: Give us the ability (much like the recipes view) to browse ongoing production by resource.

Did I forget to switch the tool shop from wood to planks again?"

Problem: Though out ever game find myself looking to cut consumption of resources and optimize usage where supply is scarce. To do this I have to try to remember what buildings have a recipe that might consume the resource I want to save, and and open up the wheel on each of these buildings to see if it's selected for usage.

You have to be keeping your workers fairly static for this value to be meaningful. Variations such as shifting to other recipes in the same building, delivery scheduling, and production crits take a long time to average out.

Add a panel where we can easily see a recap of resource consumption in the settlement (food per min for the villagers, how much base material the industry consumes, what building consumes what material, etc...)
For example, as of now, it's very easy to start producing some material we only need a small or medium amount of, forget about it, and waste a lot of materials because we don't remember it.

Something like this I think would be perfect for when the player clicks on the warehouse buildings! Right now there's very little reason for a player to click on them, as while it shows all the resources the town has, it kinda has them all jumbled together and without the green/red borders that the resources at the top of the screen have.

Even simply organizing the resources by their types and having them all displayed in the warehouse window (as opposed to having to click through all the tabs at the top of the screen) would be a big improvement for helping to get an overall view of your town's economy.

Frostpunk has an "economy" report, where it lists each of the resources - where they are produced, how much they are consumed, etc. They are grouped into useful categories (food, building mats, fuel, etc.)

However, Frostpunk has a much more simple resource list compared to ATS, so presenting this data would be a bit more challenging.
