Possible resources summary
Hello,

I like the game very much so far. I just have a tiny QoL suggestion: would it be possible to have a reminder of possible resources for the current map (like, is it possible to find meat at some point? Mushrooms?)
If it is there, I haven't found it. So far, I take notes when creating the colony, so as to not select useless buildings later. ^^'

Happy building. :)

Never mind my silly suggestion. It's always like that: the moment you point that sort of thing out, you actually find it already exists. ><

That said, I did not find it where you suggested, but by simply accessing the menu ("escape"). There, you have conditions listed on the left, including possible resources.

lol yes i had the same QOL suggestion/question as you and now i use the Escape menu almost constantly :D

Perhaps it would be better to have that info inside the game and not at the Escape menu but the UI needs a lot of info and i understand the space is limited. Also, it can't be in the Encyclopedia unless they change it from static text to something dynamic (and that will consume more computer resources

But it's already inside the game, it's almost in every menu where you make a choice. (Blueprints, Cornerstones, Orders, the small little button is always in the top left corner for you to hover over and check)

Well yes, but only when you make a choice, that's not permament info but only sporadic so it's not useful if you can't check it at any time and have to wait for a choice to come or go to the Escape Menu.

It's not very important though, just a suggestion as possibly other new players can ask the same and imo, the Escape menu is not a common sense place to search for any info about your actual game.

If you press ESC to go the main menu you can see all the resources on the map, does that help?

Easier to just remember what a biome does NOT have, instead of what it HAS.

If you have to check all the time I suggest you work on your memory or take a screenshot from each different biome and just have it on the side somewhere.

That was...unnecessary. I have seen veteran players on Youtube (with all unlocked, hundreds of hours played, etc) checking the resources of a biome from time to time and...? That means nothing, are you saying that we all need to memorize every piece of data in this game and that we cannot consult anything? That's frankly stupid.

Also, maybe you have a pretty good memory but don't speak about others and don't treat it as if it were a defect, that was rough and unnecessary.

The fact is that the info is only sporadically in-game and permamently outside the game, on the Esc menu. And anyway i said it was not very important. All the rest...keep it to yourself.
