Auto signage on factories

[Cathartic Flatulence]

The constructors, assemblers, etc should come with a sign included that automatically sets the sign to what they're currently creating.

Meh....that would looks annoying as hell when you have anywhere between 10-50 assemblers in two lines. It's better to just put custom signs in front of the line of assemblers to explain what it is doing.

With a name like Reesespenises, I can't blame you.

Can't say I haven't had a similar thought, but you'd have a ridiculous amount of extra objects to render and a large amount of wasteful redundancy.

Everyone probably creates differently, but I have buildings dedicated to each product. Not hard to put a sign on the building indicating what that building is producing and even the total amount its creating.

At first, I was confused by this terminology, and thought you must be really early in the game... then I realized the word "building" in this context indicated a structure containing all of the smelters, constructors, assemblers, etc. (rather than the smelters, constructors, etc. themselves).

Good morning, I'm going to go get some coffee.

It's a waste of resources, both in hardware usage and visual real estate.

Disagree.

I don't understand.

If you think those signs are a "ridiculous amount of extra objects" you should upgrade your potato.

Nope, but placing signs everywhere on factories is very tedious and boring.

Again - upgrade your potato. If those tiny little signs are affecting your PC that much, your input is entirely useless here.

Performance aside, all those signs are just visual clutter. You don't need a label on every producer when simply looking at the output tells you what it is producing. You could also color code your producers, letting you know, even from a good distance, what a building is producing without even needing a sign.

There are tools available in the game to address the specific issue that you are having without having to clutter everyone elses' factories with a deluge of useless visual information.

I would just like a area to be able to clip a sign to a producer the same way I can easily clip a sign to a storage container.

You can't look at the output if you're storing it right after producing it. Especially if it is consumed fast and produced slow.

Color coding each building is tedious and boring.

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about other people's games, lol. If it upsets potato PC owners like you then they could EASILY implement an option in the game to disable auto-signage.

Unless...your poor potato PC couldn't possibly handle the extra computing power required to render the text in the option menu?

It's not so much that people's PC's can't handle it, they are just trying to say it's extra processing for no gain (in other words your idea sucks).

Each to their own but you can tell by everyone's reaction that they don't like your idea lol

So, long story short, you want the devs to change the model of, and add more code to, every producer in the game because you are too lazy to click a mouse button to color something, too lazy to properly use signs yourself, and too lazy to properly build your storages?

It should be fairly obvious at this point that everything "Reese's Penises" is saying is solely to get a rise out of us... and it appears that they're doing a bang-up job.

Stop feeding the troll; if it starves, maybe it will go find a different bridge to sleep under.
