Hivemind strength

Post by Triel Wolfblood » 11 Jul 2015, 13:22

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):instead of showing it in status tab make it a button in alien tab that would show a bit altered version of current strength

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):current hivemind strength is confusing as hell, it would help

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):when you press hivemind strength button in alien tab it will display:
Current strength: x
Max strength: x
Strength needed to evolve: x (not sure if current or max is needed for evolution)
possibly with each having how to increae them in brackets
i asked a admin about strength once and it appears to work with current strength and max strength

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Yes, this would be helpful to have, since the current system can be a little confusing.
But, to clarify; the first number is the current amount of hivemind being used, the second number is the maximum usable hivemind, and it increases by ~1pt/2.5secs when the queen is alive. Each evolution takes up a certain amount of hivemind strength, about 30 for each T2/T3 caste. Basic caste is about 15, and larva use 10.

Making the hivemind readings more clear would be great for newer and experienced players on the server. It's important for people to be able to read on screen info as fast as possible.
