Rename and/or colour storage buildings.

9 votes

In order to better manage storage, it would be useful to be able to name each storage. For example, so that with one click, we can see what it contains 'Wood' or 'Wheat/Bread'.

In addition, being able to colour elements of the storage would also be useful, so allow quick identification at a glance.

I second this. I have an entire array of organization happening in storage. And if the storage facility is for an item below the first 8 items, it gets difficult to tell.

- Rename is the strongest option I can think of.
- Colors are a good idea. So make things even easier to see at a glance. I do like this idea. However, looking at my current builds. Storage is usually under something, and it would be difficult to see the color anyway.
- Signage. I know it's probably far out of scope, but being able to pick 2-4 icons from the item list, to be displayed on a sign would go a long way. But this suffers the same problem.
- Simplify the UI. It'd be great if the UI wasn't immediately editable and only showed what's currently in there (and maybe what's checked). 90% of the time there's generally 2 questions I want to ask from the UI. "What is in here? How much?" I generally only configure a storage once, maybe twice.
