Embarkation Supplies Suggestion
« on: May 03, 2009, 08:46:38 pm »

Just a minor suggestion, but would it be possible to, instead of pressing + or - for like 5 minutes to get 200 booze, you could press enter, type 200, and then enter again, so that you can quickly and easily get the number of supplies you want on embark, and can therefore get to the game quicker?

Fourthed?
It's already an option for other things (custom world parameters come to mind) so I can't imagine it would be a big change to implement. And it would make my brain not explode when embarking with 100 wood instead of an axe...

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

While we're on the subject, I'd like to see the ability to load embark profiles and then adjust them for the current situation.

I believe we're at Seventhed at this point.
Also, Errol, can't we already do that?

Oh that? You can find it by typing out it's name. It'll narrow it down to all the items that fit that word, like it does on the Job menu.

It have to be done as it done in other games - just shift+ adds 10, alt+ adds 100 and ctrl+ adds 1000 and so on.
