User Interface

[LODERUNNER1982]

Ok... yes it is a beautiful game, it shows that the devs did put a ton of love into it. I really want to play this game like it is meant to and put the time into it that it deserves, BUT PLEASE let go of the stubbornness regarding this UI. I see a lot of people saying they are struggeling with this. I've had enough of time spend in this game now and then in early access time and hoped the UI was changed for full release, but sadly the same.. And the extra options in the bottom of the screen can't save this...
I know you want to be different and unique and when it is your baby you try to stick with your vision what's right, but I and a lot of people just can't get used to this UI, I kid you not, I truely keep getting lost in it.. all the time, it's frustrating to a point to just exit the game. Why all these f*&4ing tabs vertically and horizontally for everything including cycling tribe members all in one type of UI/menu. Please seperate these info screens/menu's for things like tribe members, resource management, building etc. It is all so unlogically cramped in this one type horrendous UI. Please listnen to the players and come up with something else, more differentiated for more user friendly and clearer navigation.

Agreed here also, even the KickStarter somehow manages to showcase a slightly better UI where you have buildings + storages easily selectable right at the bottom of the screen which - I imagine - you can assign to specific groups afterwards. Why isn't this a part of the game now when it was many years ago?

In this game, unlike others, the communal and the group are differentiated so that we have to group the things of one in one place and those of others in another place. To make this clear we group the things of an element in a window with tabs. We cannot apply solutions from other games simply because they are different. In any case if you have ideas of improvement that contemplate our case we are happy to read them.

G is your best friend, when you master the "G" Key, this UI is becoming user friendly.

Huh, interesting, didn't know about that. Either way, even without any hotkeys, it's not really that difficult to use the UI properly. Started playing some time in 2021, then took a "short" break, now started again, never had any issues with the UI. No idea how it's so difficult to just click on the right things.
