Custom building submenu
« on: July 15, 2010, 04:38:44 pm »

Right now, any custom buildings you make either go into the "Workshop" sub-menu or the "Furnaces" submenu. If you have a huge number of custom workshops, this not only clutters up those submenus, but forces the modder to use custom keys that do not conflict with existing ones. The suggestion I make is to allow you to make custom workshop categories and assign a shortcut key to them, so for example, you can place all of CivForge's alchemy buildings under one heading.

Me too. But then, I'd like to see the entire interface open to modding or scripting. This would be a good start.
