But, if I go and change my engine to a better one without clicking outside of the travel dialogue, when I come back the fuel cost does not change. But only visually - it shows 134 but it actually costed me 117:
In a Solar System what its to far (248.39)what i wanted to travel, cost 14 of fuel because its interestelar highway
Also, to travel in a Solar System what of 10.568 of me, cost 54 of fuel but its off road
Just remembered this after seeing the heat sink thing in the upcoming changes post.
If we have an upgraded heat sink, can we get more of those “sections” here to indicate the bar is “larger”?
Squashing more sections (rectangles) in would not look good, because they are pixel-aligned and squashing would blur them together.
We could conceivably add more sections at the end, but given the best heat sink is more than 2x as good as the standard one, it would double the size of the GUI
Alternatively, we could halve the number of sections for the standard heat sink, meaning that it would only take up 50% of the space. I don’t like this solution either because for most players the HUD would be half-empty
It wouldn’t actually matter though, since not many people care about seeing a bigger bar(rier blocking the view. Besides, the score bonuses would also seem a little off upgrade by upgrade.
It’s either something straightforward to fix, has a lot of impact (serious exploit), with a lot of bang for the buck, or simply something that I would enjoy doing. In this case it gets top priority and gets done ASAP.
It’s something very complex, only has a niche audience, conflicts with other features, or I start work on it only to realize that there are a lot of cross cutting concerns. In this case it goes at the end of a long list, and god knows if/when I’ll get around to doing it.
Working alone speeds this process up a whole lot because I don’t need to coordinate with anyone and I’m intimately familiar with 100% of the codebase, but it also comes at the expense of very limited bandwidth (depends on inspiration, mood, illness, etc)
Realized the meaning, it’s not a bug. because:
1- The cost shown is for original engine, not the best.
2- might be a bit hard to change them depending on the engine.
that’s it.
Cost is being changed, only when you re-enter main screen tho. If you check and change the value after every confirmation of spacecraft’s changes, this sounds possible.
