If I go to an upgrade I can understand that in the future it may be possible to upgrade a hab unit / mine/ spice den, etc but not yet.
I would like- at a glance as soon as I click on the upgrade that the option to upgrade be greyed out if it is already purchased or is not yet tech available...
As I switch between a early game in the save games to a late term game the progress in the tech tree is constantly moving in my mind... this saves me taps to realize the tech is not there yet to upgrade

chesspupil - I don't understand the request. When you looking at the build options for a planet, those projects you can't afford are grayed out.

Understood. What I seek is that besides cost causing a grey out , not having the tech to upgrade a mine or a hab unit would also cause grey out... if I already have the upgrade purchased and it is in Que it would also be in progress.

Sorry, I still don't understand the request. If you don't have the tech to build the mine or hab, it isn't in the list. I am not trying to be dense, I just don't understand. Any chance you could post a screenshot to make it clear? |

The game marks Colony Upgrades you cannot afford in Credits.
The game also automatically hides any Colony Upgrade that is blocked by Research requirements.

Take for example that I have a hab one that I have in que to upgrade to a two. All other hab ones are already at two. Hab 3 is not yet available. When I go back to upgrades both the hab one and hab twos show up in the upgrade list. This is where I would like them to be greyed out. The hab one is in que to go to a two and the tech is not there for a hab three yet. Finances are plentiful so buy or subsidize are still there. The only reason to go back to the upgrade list is to demolish or see what buildings are there. I am left to believe I can upgrade them until I try &the result is either upgrade already in progress or at maximum upgrade level. I am playing on Android.

I think I understand the request. Part of the problem is the Android device's limited CPU and I/O capacity. There are compromises that have to be made for the sake of responsive UI.
I'll take a look at the overall cost (and it will be high) for this feature and see if we can include it in a PC release in the future. I doubt the average Android will have the I/O to do the necessary checks before an ANR.

I have seen the ANR as a problem before... what is that?

I have seen the ANR as a problem before... what is that? Application Not Responding. It occurs when applications consume too much CPU without processing input. Any logic for screen preparation that takes too long causes ANR. Google rates applications with high ANR rates lower. They punish those applications by reducing revenue. If ST 4X revenue reduces, we will be able to spend less time on that game. |
