Interface questions

Post by sandino »

Hi,

I just registered on BGA to play Terraforming Mars and I have a few questions about the interface:
- Is there a quick way to see the advancement concerning Milestones for each player ? (like it is the case on the Steam Version)
- Is it possible to skip confirm buttons ? For example I have the card Rim Freighters, effectively decreasing the cost is optional so I understand why I need to confirm but that is a lot of clicks... Generally speaking I find the interface very nice but there is a lot of Confirm buttons to click, is there a way to avoid that?
- Is there a channel where I can see future planned developments (implementation of Venus Next for example)

Thanks!

Yes.At the top-right of the milestones display,and the top-left of the awards display,there are two little black rectangles.If you click on them,they will show you the progress/standings of the players towards the milestones or awards and whether they've been claimed.

Above your player panel you should see something that looks like a gear. If you click that, you can turn off most confirmations.

Please note - those confirmations are there to prevent errors and misclicks. Once a card is drawn, there is no "undo". Likewise for ending turn.

There are actually many people clamoring for more confirmations and options for undoing mistakes. There are literally hundreds of bug reports submitted by people who clicked something by mistake and are frustrated that they cannot undo it.

So, please be careful.

Also, after clicking the gear icon, there are options "Show tags on minipanel" and "Show counters on minipanel". Those are helpful for keeping track of milestones and awards as well.
