With mirror images, the player need to check which metal is shown which way (or any of the steps above) the first time. In the current situation iron and gold look almost identical, but the user can learn which is used by checking the mouse-over or by observing which is delievered to the arena. I agree mirror images are not a good solution, since a player would still have to look it up the first time. A H-shape would be better tough since it is very more specifiable and not so easily confused. Maybe its enogh to just swap the ingot stacking, so for steel the ingots could be stacked with the long side up. The H-steel for iron would therefore be a good idea, however i do not know Astuurs alternative ingot design. One solution is a different ingot shape for steel since most people have ingots in mind when talking about things like gold and silver.
However with a mirrored image, the player can learn which side means what metal, so one can, after realizing that fact, gain the detail information from the image ("ahh left sided menas gold!") which saves time later on.Īs stated above from Astuur, an alternative design for the finished-gold ressource (ie ingot) should be different from the finished gold design when greyed out.
Hello, mirroring has indeed no relation to the materials.Ĭompared to the current solution it however helps with a learning curve.Ĭurrently you can only tell the needed material by a mouse-over and not directly from the image, so currently there is nothing to be learned except that you need to put the mouse over to reveal text the icon itself carries no additional information over "some metal".
