Persistent Announcement/Report Log
« on: December 07, 2022, 03:44:54 pm »

Right now it seems that the pop-up announcements have replaced the original announcement/report log, but sometimes you might want to go back and check on something after you already dismissed the announcement for it. Could a more persistent log be restored, like the one that existed prior, for those scenarios?

You also used to be able to monitor gamelog.txt in the install folder for combat log and mineral findings, but this feature seems to have been removed in the premium version. Bringing this feature back would be a quick (and probably easy) fix for the current UI/log -situation.

PLEASE PLEASE add the combat reports and announcements menus back! Im shocked that anyone would think removing them was a good idea. One of my favorite features was being able to read through all my old combat logs, and now the logs are just poof gone if I close the notification.

Its a bit wack that that this is a game about 'making stories', but the options to review your stories has been removed :(

I'm surprised that this feature wasn't present in the premium version. I assume it's still being worked on? I hope.

Yup. These logs have been one of the most important features for me when writing down a story/update/report of forts & adventures.

Would be great to finally get a differentiation between real combat and sparring or combat between 3rd parties that you don't care about too.

This would make the job of the guy doing the "audible alerts" mod a bit easier.
