Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Once you've done an immediate action, that card should not highlight for you in the future. Also, when you are researching a technology it should highlight the column to the left of the card instead of the card. Right now, it highlights the card which is confusing as with smaller screens just having the player piece is too small of a reminder between researching and researched.

Report history
I'm not sure what you mean here. In the context of this game, "immediate" refers to the bonus you receive for researching a technology.
As for highlighting during research, I have not found it to be an issue when playing on mobile, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for there as well.
1) not be highlighted
2) highlighted a different color.
3) keep the current highlighting option, then provide an immediate notification that you don't have the resources to complete the action would be helpful as soon as you click on the action. Sometimes you don't get the message indicating that you don't have enough resources until you have tried to resolve the entire chain of actions.
Actions are highlighted even if they are occupied.
Actions are highlighted even if I don't have enough ore/people to use them.
I'm asked if I want to perform a control/colonization bonus even if I don't have the resources.
Jump locations are highlighted even if they are too far (resulting in negative remaining jump).
In general, the interface philosophy seems to be: let the player do anything, then tell them it is not allowed after they try. I think what people are asking for is that illegal actions would be impossible to select / not offered, rather than denied in retrospect. This is also how most BGA games are implemented.
All this is not to detract from how much implementing this game is appreciated - really enjoying it!
I concur with all the points yaron made.
Thx!
