Select how much you want to spend on project

[Rusalka]

when I try to use machine I have this kind of field to fill:

Code: Select all

Select how much you want to make:

That usually requires an opened calculator and do some math almost everytime, and beeing sleepy or whatever I typed wrong numbers again!!


How about having this kind of thing:

Code: Select all

Select how much you want to make:
or
Select how much you want to spend:


Example:

Code: Select all

In one day you can produce 275 grams of smoked meat. You will need the following raw materials:
400 grams of meat
30 grams of wood


There are two fields generated - one for wood and one for meat. When I enter 400 grams in first filed, the second field automaticaly types 30 grams. When I type 800 grams the second gets 60 etc. Or we can add 'calculate' button so it won't be refreshing all the time.

This would be very useful.

You guys need a like button for these things. ^.^
I like it too. Hasn't it been suggested before?

I can't believe how lazy you people are. Soon you'll be requesting a simulator to predict your next 10 Cantr years production as well, yeah?

I'm not sure if I understand you right, but I'd just skip the initial selection and expand the second form with two additional fields, one for output and another one for time.

That's mean.
Some people aren't so good at math, you know.

Yes, that sounds great.
I support this, let the computer do all the math, that's what they're for.

How about showing how much we have of each resource as well?

Well, it's not laziness, I just believe people could spend more time on interacting an RP rather then doing math, that's all.
