show_flow_amounts on pause
« on: November 16, 2011, 11:22:29 am »
When I'm watching my dwarfs run around and do their jobs, I also like watching the river flowing. But when I pause the game, the river shouldn't flow and showing flow amounts provide more information.

I think a new init option [SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS:PAUSE] which would show tildes and curvy equal signs when running and numbers when paused.

The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

At the moment you lose information on either view, so being able to switch between them either with a menu option or by pausing (as in this suggestion), a menu option would be preferable IMO.

Agreed.  I like this idea.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.
