invert warnings on water tanks/storage structures

49 votes

it's of far more use to me to have a popup icon over an empty water tank than a full one

Or have both. Empty is definitely more alarming than full but full tells me if I'm ready for the dry season.

I agree with breadloaf. Both are important. If all your tanks are full, then at least you know why your water pumps are all idle when you see the tanks full icons everywhere, and you know if you want to get your pumps working again, build more tanks. Empty tanks are critical to know about as too many of those warnings can tell you ahead of time if there's a problem incoming, maybe even early enough to head off a major-catastrophic dehydration die-off.

an icon that hints at how full the tanks are would be nice. Maybe one that shades from green (full) to red(empty) or a similar visual representation.

I suggest that the flag that lets us know the warehouse is full, or the water tank is full etc be in a different color rather than alarm red (maybe a little smaller too). Its not visually pleasing to look over my settlement and see a bunch of warnings in RED for things I should be happy about. A full warehouse? Awesome! show it in green. Full water tank? Great! no thirsty beavers, flag it in blue.
Thanks for reading this and keep up the great work, I love this game!

It’s crazy that the showers place alerts when they have no water, but the water pumps don’t. Also nuts that they hold on to their workers but that’s another issue
