Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add a verb which calls up a window displaying the number of remaining available T2 and T3 evolutions for the aliens so you don't hoard plasma and try to evolve only to realize that this isn't possible.
If it's possible to route this information directly to the Status tab in real time without consuming too many resources, do that instead.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Prevents annoying cases like the above, while being light on server resources.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Per the summary.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Coding.

Re: Evolution Availability Display
put that in the status tab instead, like it used to be with the hivemind strength so long ago.

Re: Evolution Availability Display
I'm leery of real time updates due to the resource consumption involved, but if that can be done without being too taxing, for sure. The advantage of a verb call is that the server only has to expend resources when an alien makes an inquiry as opposed to on every tick.

Re: Evolution Availability Display
Still a good idea, but I think the devs are working on other things.

Re: Evolution Availability Display
It would be best implemented into the hive menu. Denied as written, but not a bad idea.
