How about if you could customize the resource-bar. Not everyone wants to see tools coints woods etc. perhaps someone is very intrested in the horse-produciton ... Make it maximum of 2 rows also.

Totally agree.
I even tried some dragging and dropping just to see :-)
As priorities change throughout the game it would be useful if the information viewable changed with them to save map scrolling and clicking.
I also find the information popups at top left often obscure the residends/settlers info window in the resource bar just when I need to read it. Nothing moving the tabs down a bit wouldn't cure and not a real worry.
not a bad idea.. :) i would definitely find it useful.
Great idea, you often are interested in different resources. Would be good to be customised to meet your current needs
Super nice idea, would like to see my B swords, I swords and maybe S swords, Beer and coins :) or something like that.
making this game bigger with a customizable resource bar would cause some instabilities with the server. Although,if it would be possible, i'd vote for it :)
lol. Why would it instabilize the servers? Basically the servers would have to store a list of resources that is on top .... If you compare that to all the other information that is stored for each player ... it's nothingQuote:

I too think this to be a excellent idea. But would this not be apart of the Economic Overview Screen that is been worked on at the moment. I think I read it is hoped to be around in the next 6 months but don't quote me on this it is late after all lol. In the Devs Jan 12 Diary.
I like the Idea, except for free settlers and free licences. those should be fixed and unalterable.
To avoid involving the server, it should be an entirely clientside implementation taking its list of resoures to be shown from a cookie (or give default if no cookie). setting or changing the cookie should be clientside too, fx drag item icon from storagehouse window to spot on the bar. Server should not even know it happened.
yes, it will be a very long time maybe some months or more till this feature if approved will happen..
but i vote for it aswell!
maybe somebody cud add this to the dev diary lol
I agree with this or an idea I posted previously with a full overview of your resources on the right hand side of the screen (collapseable with an arrow, like your friend-list at the bottom):

i've been playing for a while now and i think it would be a good idea to be able to change what you see on the top of the screen (Tool's, Gold Coins ect)
It would be nice if the resource bar at the top of the screen could display either more or fully customizable resources.

Hi,
At the moment the top bar resource display is fixed at - tools / coin / pwp / hwp / stone / marble - which is fine when you start but less useful when you're at the higher levels. How about being able to select what items are displayed there?

Ok you know the recource bar at the top ( think its called that ). Atm its shows tools, gold, planks, hardwood etc etc. That info is so useless for me nad many other. Why not make a little tweek so we can choose what we want to have displayed there. Just a small thing but anhance the quality of the game a tine bit.
Just my 2 Cents
Merged
How about a check box on every resource in the eco tool allowing us to chose which 6 resources to display.
+1 also suggested this on test.

Yes, please. This is a great idea.
Hello, I was thinking about useful suggestion for resource bar:
http://i.imgur.com/DT03J5N.png
I think it now shows only the static resources that will be useless for high-level players, will be awesome if I can select 6 resources that I care about, as example, I really don't want to see the stone, or pinewood planks, or even marbles and hardwood, it will be interesting to get option to show exotic wood, salt, granite or anything that I want to keep my eyes watching them.
It will be the nice feature to get.
I agre, but wouldn't limit it to just 6 items.
At the rs I run my screen it could be at least twice as long as it currently is, maybe even a little deeper.
+1 nice suggestion TheVictorious :)
I think this was touted many moons ago (2012?) by BB themselves if I recall correctly, along with a totally revamped news tab...
Sadly, looking back on the old dev diaries, all the graphics for those are now broken, so I cant locate the one I wanted to paste here...
This has definitely been suggested from way back in 2011!

Seems it's rather popular ;)
And I'll add my +1
great idea +1
If BB is not capable of inventing a way for us to choose the res maybe they could have it change with level ranges.
+1 to the idea of customized resource bar
I don't think it makes much sense going with the ranges, since most high level resources you don't really need to keep track of.Quote:

As for the customizable bar, I think a good approach would be a checkbox in the options tabs allowing us to choose which components are supposed to be rendered on start of the game. Drag & drop would be nicer but I think way too complex to be implemented easily.
Has been suggested since the dawn of time.
Personally I would prefer check-box's in Eco.Quote:

Nice idea :) - I never look at the top menu now. I have to go to the Economy overview.
suggested many, many times before :)

The bar across the top of the screen that shows you the levels of various resources would be a lot more useful if it was user configurable, as you progress into the game, knowing how much stock of pinewood and stone is not useful, and other things become a priority. If users could select what they see on that bar it would add utility and just generally not waste space on information is not interested in.
+1 from me, I like that sound of that. especially when keeping an eye on expert resources when a player is trying to level buildings up. Or if a player needs to watch out for a rare resource from running too low.
Previously suggested here.
did u know u can open up a window showing all ur stock?
