Proposal:
Show missing boosts in the building construction menu in red text
Have you checked the forums for the same or similar idea
Yes - can't find any discussion under Ideas.
Reason:
Currently, when you go to build a new goods building, you can bring up an info window showing you the dimensions, number of workers needed, relevant goods boost on the map etc. If you have that boost, than the name of the goods in question is displayed in green; if you don't then only the little arrow next to the name is in green.
But it's not until you actually try to construct the building that you get a warning if you DON'T have the boost. (And by that point you've probably already deleted other buildings, reconfigured your city, etc.)
Details:
The current display is a bit misleading, as the green arrow makes it look as if you've got the boost even when you haven't - more of a problem with modern era goods and above, where you honestly can't remember which boosts were on the map a couple of continents back! Instead of (or as well as) displaying boosts that you do have in green and everything else in the window in the same default colour, would it be possible to highlight the case where you are missing the necessary boost by displaying it in red?
Visual Aids:
None, sorry.
Balance/Abuse Prevention:
Not applicable, I hope.
