Hello

I try to write here what i found. I hope maybe helpfull.

So first i found ui problem. Planet info show colored numbers wrong. Brown yellow blue and green. When click on a planet you can see what that mean but not same sequence. Production, Income, Metal, Food, Resarch. (Brown,yellow,red,green, blue)

So question is why not metal info on planet list and why not same sequance. Other question Brown and yellow number colors too close, hard to see.

Other question: Planet minerals easy to see but farming bonus where find after colonised the planet?

Hi szaki -- thanks for the feedback. You'll need to excuse me for responding to some, but not all, of these questions. I've got a ground combat system overhaul I should really be getting back too :oops:

Text formatting issues are often specific to the resolution of the monitor you're playing the game with. Could you post a screenshot of this?

Right now the "farming bonus" is basically a "fertility" score, where "fertility" varies by planet type. (With the one rather strange exception of Iceball worlds, which have fertility -1 normally, but fertility 2 if Orthin colonists are present.)

We're planning to add a much more obvious indicator of a planet's mineral bonus as a system view overlay, but, I think also adding an explicit "fertility" stat inside the planet info stats (where you can currently find the mineral info) is probably a good idea. I'll add that change to the next patch.
