Color coded logs event and new WP

[MirabelleBenou]

Hello !

To improve the reading of the logs window, maybe it can help to have color coded event. It'll help a lot to ID specific events with a quick glance. Sometimes, all grey text with those small fonts can be hard to read and it's easy to miss something important.

Also, would really love to be able to add WP. Sometimes, after having plotted a move, I would like to add a new WP for better pathing, but currently, we have to replot the whole movment and all WP.

Last, a resizable mini map would be great

Thanks for this great game !

Color coding has been discussed, but it requires the recoding of many dialogs, and it was not practical at the time to do. We may revisit this in the future, as I would like to see something a bit more visually-defining.

Adding a waypoint may be a bridge too far in that complex area of the code. I will run it by the team.

The resizable mini-map will probably not happen as the panels are set to size. What benefit are you looking for by resizing?

Hello!

Thx for the reply! For the resizing, it was just to benefit of my 2nd small screen to fill the space.

I put side to side the logs window and mini-map.

But not a high priority need, just a "nice to have".

Thanks,
Have a nice day

Agree that adding a waypoint to existing orders would be great if it can be worked out. I've wanted to do that several times already . Replotting the whole order I would imagine would have a new orders delay. Wouldn't want something like adding a waypoint to an existing order be a way of gaming the orders delay mechanism either.
