The community is producing enough material to encourage a split between topics focused on elaborating reflections and other requesting for an idea to be implemented.
The ES2 forum had a quite vibrant „Ideas“ sub-section, the one from games2gether, which could and has been used as replacement for the lack of one for Humankind, had less success, I nonetheless found a similar topic: that's here.


I'd also wish for :

  1. a very clear set of rules to make titles for ideas, making it fast to search through topics while scrolling
  2. a color coded system of answer reflecting the status from the devs POV (red=refused, orange=not a priority, yellow=working on it, green=implemented, grey=not processed or something like that)
  3. a better search system: many searches depend on the same key words, as they refer to complex mechanics and many want to share their POV. Restriction to a time period, exclusion of words, usw. would make a search easier and therefore avoid having too many similar topics popping up.
  4. an archive system:  to avoid answers dating 2 years ago that are not valid with the current build
  5. some community members offer more than one idea I like. I'd like to see an „Ideas“ filter on their profile, to make it easier to look only for those posts. It could also be a filter in the search, see 3.
  6. make the upvote button less easy to forget, not many members seem to even know it exists and it is one of the important tool to promote an idea.

Just a small message to thank you for opening the long awaited »Ideas« and »Tutorials» sections.
I'll start »converting« some threads to find them a place there.

I might even try to make some tutorials, although I fear for the quality.
The only issue I see with the Ideas subsection comes from the difficulty to parse new ones. There should be a way to check new content, as it is the case with the forums.

Seconded!



Additionally, new tags would be nice.  The current tags are definitely ES2 tags.

Oh, additionally, the ideas area says "Once it reaches 1 million points, the dev team will review it and give it a status... "   That number may be unattainable given the newness of the Ideas area and the fact that many ideas and traffic will be split between Ideas and Forums for some time to come.  Will the threshold be lower?

As far as I know the threshold was chosen according to the average points/people, it is not like an impossible number

I guess, I'll open a thread to give people few tips to get more points on their account and help get to that million points.
It should be possible to reach it for some topics that are asked for by many people for a long time.
