[0.87] Suggestion related to build queue

from Stardock Forums

I find this game absolutly great but there is one thing that often piss me off is the fact that, when, in a city, you have already a queue of 5 things to build, and you add a 6th one, and then you decide you want this 6th one to be 1st one (for exemple to rush it), you can't do that (or I haven't found how to do to that) because you can't drag the 6th thing from page 2 to page 1 of the queue.

The only way I've found is to cancel one of the 5 first things... then the 6th became the 5th, so appear on the page 1 of the queue, and can be moved to 1st position.

But it's really annoying to have to do that, especialy when you already have 2 or 3 pages of queue cause you have to repeat the operation for each page.

So, my suggestion :

- add 2 buttons that appear when you select an item in the queue : 1st button = move the item 1 position up in the queue, 2nd button = move 1 position down in the queue.

- make the "queue list" be completly scrolable with the mouse, so that, when you have selected one item with the mouse, if you move the mouse on the left part of the page, the game understand that you want to move this item on the previous page, and scroll to this page automaticaly.

 

Thanks in advance

I also have some frustration with this. In a previous build there was a mod that made the UI much larger, and so you could swap everything easily  It does not work with LH.

Agreed , this needs to be addressed. Also wish the production queue showed up in the kingdom report of cities...so all cities can be adjusted from one screen....

^This would make too much sense though.

The build queue is burdened with a love for graphics instead of text.  The icons are not very  meaningful when text is sufficient.

The Research queue is even worse.  For one thing when research is gained, it should be applied to queue items or banked instead of random distribution.

Great idea! Small 'move to front' and 'move to back' buttons would be awesome!
