Science Tree Window - sidebar - GUI Usability Improvement Suggestion


Recommended Posts

In the research center, science tree view, when you select a particular science node, the sidebar on the right side of the screen (showing components to unlock) could use some UI dev love, namely:

1. Enlarge Sidebar Window showing unlocked parts for a science tree node

Imagine a case where you enable several mods ( I have approx 30). This means that for each science tree node to be unlocked, there are many parts that are unlocked with it. Is it possible to enlarge the window on the sidebar showing all the parts that should be unlocked if the node is selected.

If none of the parts are selected, you could make the window showing the parts almost the size of the sidebar, thus eliminating(or diminishing ) the need for the vertical scrollbar in currently small window.

2. Enable Multi-Research of particular parts for the already discovered node

If mod is added after the required science node has been researched, you need to "research" the part itself. This is OK, BUT in some mods, there are 9+ parts being added per node. This makes clicking each part, then confirming "research" very tedious. Could it be implemented a simple Shift + click selects From.... To range, and Ctrl + Click selects multiple parts, and the research button only tally's up the required "science"

I think both of the above changes require minimum effort, but do pay off for us who use many mods.
