First post, not many hours in game, but I found a thing that annoys me.

Hope it was not already suggested ( searched for planets, read the first 4 pages, checked summary of suggestions and ideas but did not find it )



Why can I build a "+2 population on tiny worlds +1 population on small worlds -2 dust" building in a system that has only medium or bigger planets?

I like to have only "production to dust" or "production to researchpoints" as buildable options ( endgame ) and to scroll as less as possible.



Same counts for other improvements as for +1 population for asteroids and gas planets, but there is no such thing in that system.



So if I build only the usefull things in a system, I will often have a full buildmenue and in midgame with many buildable improvements I maybe will miss things that could be useful.



Suggestion : Please change this so that only improvements that are usefull for a stellar system are buildable.



Best wishes

Eeks.... now I found it in the archives at the first page....

big sorry.

I don't know if the devs will instead end up simply pruning the list like that, but I made a suggestion for Development Icon highlighting and sorting to address the same set of potential problems, while still having all non-built Improvements in the list.

I really like your idea.

I made a post about highlighting and/or previewing changes from improvements.



I hadn't even considered the just plain 'useless' things that would not even be shown through the FIDS... like population expansion (or lack there of) ... good suggestion.

This has in principle been proposed here: /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12258-ui-exclusion-of-specific-system-improvements

This thread has been linked to the former and is moved to the archives.
