Some items need better descriptions
« on: June 24, 2011, 06:44:24 pm »
I can offhand think of two items that can't be identified on the build screen.
 
One is inhabited cages. It won't tell you the contents, or even if it has any, just the material.
 
Another is carved slab monuments. There's no way to tell on the build menu whether a slab has been carved, or for whom.
 
In both these cases all you can do is find the item you want with k and then forbid everything else. It would be a lot more convenient if it simply identified this stuff on the build menu.

If you his X when your picking which item to place down it will show you every cage/slab (or anything else for that matter) individually with contents/engravings.
