GRAPHS... the next interperative tool.

[normankirk]

Just a thought,I am a really visual person and as much as I love settlersonline I think it would be really useful to me to have access to graphs of my production positions rather than just numerical values. I'd love to be able to access a graphical representation of my relative efficiencies with regard to production so that (for me, and I suspect a few others) I can make better decisions. Any thoughts people?

[normankirk]

I know many of you might consider the current results "graphical" but I don't just mean a picture of a log with a numerical value beside it. I mean a proper graph that tells me through numerical values, graphical representation and colour exactly what is going on with my production chain in one easy visual. Just clarifying.

To be able too choose layers would be nice.

[normankirk]

And maybe to be able to click on an item in the graph and see what might happen if we increased values in a particular area. e.g add more sawmills or breweries.

Surely part of the game is working all this out on your own?

[normankirk]

Of course it ius, I was just saying the sort of feature I would appreciate. It's not for everyone.

[Gerontius]

Not really possible. To do any sort of meaningful graph would require storing a history of production. But (a) that's a lot of storage and (b) production doesn't fluctuate often enough for it to be any use.

The only graph you could have would be a single point showing current production, which would be harder to read than a single number as there is at the moment.
