[Suggestion/QoL] Include name of mined resource in order summary

Post by azaghal »

When player selects ship on the map, the info "bar" at the bottom of the screen gets populated with some basic information, including current order summary.

If the ship has been given an order to mine a particular resource, the summary includes the name of target sector. For example:
  • Mine Resources: Rolk's Demise
While this is useful information to present to the player when trying to figure out what the ships are doing, it could be improved by including the name of the resource in the summary as well. For example, the summary could look as follows:
  • Mine Resources: Ice in Rolk's Demise
  • Mine Resources (Ice): Rolk's Demise
  • Mine Ice: Rolk's Demise
This would allow player to get all the information needed about this particular order without having to do multiple steps (open information tab, navigate to orders, expand current mining order) at a fraction of text increase.
