I'm pretty new to this forum (read a lot, don't post so much) and to the game, so this may have been suggested before.
Wouldn't is be useful to have a building count somewhere. Maybe in the Ecomony Overview? Somewhere that tells us exactly how many of each buidling we have but not just production buidling, Nobles, decos, etc.
No "building count" per se, but the economy overview DOES allow you to see all the buildings you have of a particular type in one place and zoom to them. Play around with it a bit more. Its introduction was one of the successes of the last 2 years.
OK, thanks. I didn't realize that. Still, a count for non production buildings would be useful too. =)
Right now, finding all storehouses, or all nobles, or whatever non-productive building you like is a matter of going over the whole island. And half the time you might miss eg. a storehouse, because it looks so much like other buildings. This makes upgrading a bit of a pain. The same applies to wells, unless you gather them all together (as I've resorted to). Often they get hidden behind trees and stuff, so you don't find them without being quite forensic.
For productive buildings, you can jump to each one from the economy overview. This is very helpful. It would be great if you could produce another list (or maybe a tab in the economic overview) that lists quarries (working or not) and unproductive/exhausted buildings, to make them easier to find.
Totally agree!
Also, I'd love to see the remaining quantity in a deposit on the economic summary. If I want to know what locations are going to be exhausted soon, you must go over the whole island - I would think this number would be easy to add to the summary when you are looking at a deposit type.
This idea has been suggested several times.
Has been suggested many times before, but I thought Id revive it.
As the title says, please add Storehouses, Schools and Residential buildings in their various formats to the Economy Overview. It would be of great help in locating those buildings that require upgrading etc and also to see how many of each type are owned.
Trying to locate a noble that uses a license to be replaced with a deed from merchant is currently a click-fest all over the island. If the Economy overview was to differentiate between them using the yellow star, it would help immensely. Same for the Improved Stores over the standard ones.

Would also like to see gem pits on there
^ How many do you have? lol
well the nobles side of things isnt just for me, but more for the game. However the stores etc are a pain in the butt, and I would like to find them easier using the economy tab rather than scanning the island etc :)Quote:

+1 to storehouse summary
I'd rather see (a number telling) how many you have of that kind of building in "The workyard"-window and "N" keybound to cycle through those buildings.

Iv often wondered how many buildings I actually have, but I'm far to lazy to count them all. yep you can look at the licence buildings in the HUD, count the watermills in the EO, but certain building types you really just have to count, imp store's. population buildings (licence free) would be nice to see this all accounted for somewhere.

and yes also like to see gem production in there :)
Obviously, it will have to keep being suggested until it gets implemented!
This could show when you hover over the building licence icon in the top bar (although it would be useful to be able to click on a building in the list to go to it). I'm sure could do a similar thing in the old Settlers games and I miss it.
I would put something like this somehow in the economic summary. That whole area could be greatly improved. Some macro-views would indeed be very helpful.
Hi all. I have not looked long enough in similar posts, to see if someone already wrote about what I will write now. In case of duplicating idea of someone, please accept my apologizes.
Idea: To have a future game command, that allows a player to choose a sector, and all remaining home island sectors to get fogified, making it easy to identify boundaries, and counting all buildings within the limit of sector. (in case of fully explored home island)
Reason: When you estimate (as a player, doing manual assessment of whats constructed) your buildings, to have clear/understood border limits of the chosen sector.
Because, when constructing multiple buildings close to each other, the integrity of graphics, can hide the border lines between sectors.
If that idea is "complicated" and "rejected", then any system, or a way to mark each building when counting, for example, 300x water wells, or 60x wheat fields, when proposed, would be welcome.
An idea could be: 1. to be focused on the idea 2. to place buffs... every buffed building will be highlighted and to be counted. Its a way, but if got distracted, can easily loose the count.
Anyone can say: Look your Economy overview... but if count is 200x wells.. how to "fetch" the quantity. Need some method to diferentiate and give exact quantity.
Open to read/hear any of your ideas on "counting a home island of 400+ buildings. how to do it, without a mistake".
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
I agree with the idea especially when it comes to buffing. The best way I have found for counting is as you buff, only use `full` stacks of 25, each time a stack is used up whisper the number 1 to yourself and then number 2 etc... until you have competely buffed the island, or sector or building type, multiply the last number used by 25 and add the amount of buffs used from the last stack.
Hope this helps a little.
A post I have previously read also asks for a button that you can press that will buff building types so if you have 25 of one building and 35 of another then it is just 2 button presses rather than 60 !!!
An even better idea was to have the islands owner be able to make a list of buildings that wants to be buffed and then only 1 button press to buff them all at once.
I hate that wait time after every buff so any such improvement for lazies would be great. Although I somehow don't really expect that to happen. :)Quote:

If they added a tab for gem buildings as well that would be spot on.
yep, maybe they could put something in the questbook, aka a building overview showing how many of each building, and maybe also submenu of what levels they areQuote:

As it stands now it's not hard to check on how a particular chain is performing, but there is not a good 'island-wide' management overview from an infrastructure perspective. Improvements in this area would help a lot in managing the buildings.Quote:
