Disable the building requirement overlay?

[Bram]

How? The stupid popover info thing is really annoying while building, how to disable?

[TheAmishStig]

Right now the only workaround I know of is:

- Pause the game
- Place the building in "build for money" mode
- Click on the worksite to open its info pane
- Click "Cancel Contract / Finish on your own" (3rd option along the top)
- Unpause

It's an annoying number of steps to minimize the size of a tooltip [it doesn't go away entirely; but 'name and price' takes up way less space than 'name and bill of materials'], but it's the best I've got.

i would also be happy if there was a "disable tooltips" option

I agree - those stupid things are always in the way, and sometimes they go away after a bit & sometimes they don't. Annoying!

Like it's not enough that I have trouble placing the building, I have to wait for stupid pop-up to clear for 5 min!

the devs are daemons who get power of the player frustrations

oh that's why my workers go home right when the bus arrives

[tripodalt]

yes its obivious than the devs remotly moves the workers in this said solo game and laught at our rage

[Kamaling]

tooltips still makes building really difficould in some circumstances. @Dev : please hide them while placing or add a option to disable.

The gravedigger is here! :D
(bc that overlay annoyed me myself)

And here is the solution:
ctrl+g to hide the ui

[tripodalt]

it mean switch the ui very often

[pit-s]

Better than fiddeling with the camera angle for several minutes ;D

[tripodalt]

yes sure in some situation it the lone solution but its not fair design

[pit-s]

Seems i misunderstood you.

I did'nt mean, by presenting the STRG+G "solution", to say "there is no problem to solve at all" - all what i tried was to give a better workaround than the one posted by "TheAmishStig".

I wrote that i was bothered by that overlay should have given away that i share the opinion that it is an unnecesary anoyance - at least there should be an option to turn that off.

Oh and btw: i stumbled over this thread on my search for a mod or something to get rid of that overlay, and as i found something that was not time consuming (like the one from "TAS") i thought i share it here.
What i mean with that: i did not knew it before and therefore did'nt mean to talk down on others...

So thank you very much for roasting me (at least thats how i understand your complaining about my comment now) for a bad design choice with wich i have notrhing to do my self... -.-

+1.. to Kill the pop up.. seriously

[tripodalt]

not sure why such headhach because i guess you not directly responsible for the annoyance and your solution seem just the besti can think about ctrl+g
i had the same issue very few time but it was a big issue
and i wonder how the devs seem not testing their own basic gameplay and focus on less important problem in near all the games that are early acess
