There's a certain limit on how simple things should be, I reckon this is overstepping that boundary.


No it isn't. Look how does farming works or adding food to composters...
You don't have to right click on field, then left click on label "add fertilizer" or press 1 on numpad,
then window popups, then transfer fertilizers from inventory to window, then click "fertilize"?

Do you get my point?:)
If farming would look like this I would say same, there are pointless clicks in that system and it should be simpler.


I dont get your point...the reason there is no radial menu with the composter is because there is nothing else to do with it except put **** in and take humus out. The radial menu when right clicking a wall piece or cornerpost actually serve a purpose.

Heh... You're probably one of the few. I don't find it hard, never have found it hard, but there are a few fence bugs that, luckily, you didn't trip over.

There are some improvements that could be made to make building fences/walls even simpler, but I think the OP is going about it the wrong way. (I believe a couple of these better ways have already been suggested. Check the Paradox Plaza forums for more information.)

I don't like this, but for the love of god, less black bile drain and slower build time.

To extend the wall in any given direction, or to build a cornerpost.

True and I gave you idea how to change radial menu into something more useful:)

Look I know that not every idea is good, but this is place to talk about it, right?
So if you want to discuss about my idea use arguments how it is wrong or good, pros and cons, not just "coz I don't like it".
