Unit type filter in factory buildlists

Post by Stratego (dev) »

In mapeditor and help there is a filter by DOC_ categories, and question is shall i activate it in buildlists too?
are there any buildings having that much units it would help?

if so, what to do with buildings producing few units?
a) what should be the limit to show the filter?
b) or shall i put in an "All" value too? (this is more time costy solution)

In aof specifically i'd say such feature will be useful for 2x3 megas since these buildings will have most amount of units in their list alas i would like still to see that all option as well.

But let's hear other opinions.

As for limit — maybe 32+ units list?
I mean if building has a list of at least 32 units to produce.

a) over 32 should be fine.
I don't see any special reason for adding all then.
Of course - assuming it would be like cosmetics filters, so that DOC_ category, that is empty doesn't show.

I think current TCs in AoS would benefit from that, as they can produce 90 units without including ships, if I'm not mistaken.

Isn't 31 a better number for the limit, since 30 is 5x6, so it fits better in the UI grid? Or does that depend on the device's aspect ratio?
Green is the correct color, other colors are "less correct".
