• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
FAQ GEN3 states:
"The booster tile is covering the conversions pane!
Check the preferences for other options for the booster tile."
I saw Gen3 and the other options, and I strongly disagree that "pick something else to block" is an acceptable answer. There is an entire unused half of a monitor next to the board, how can it possibly be too difficult to put the tile next to the board instead of programming a frustrating "which part don't you want to read" toggle? PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, CHANGE THIS! You're on a computer, it's not hard to shift the pixels over! -

Report history
As a counterpoint, please know that submitting the same comment three different times is not productive towards endearing you to the developers, especially when we've already replied to at least one of the comments.
> how can it possibly be too difficult
As designers, it's something we've opted not to do in favor of other priorities.. If this is something that really bothers you, please reach out and we can make the code available for you to contribute the change for.
> dev's answer is currently, not to put too fine a point on it, nonsensical
The developers have limited bandwidth to support the various requests and need to prioritize accordingly. Fortunately, this is something we can work together to fix. If you'll provide the requisite changes and make sure it works to your satisfaction, I can upload the changes and deploy them.
I'm recommending we work together because we maintain this game as volunteer work. Just like you, we're not employees of BGA. It's something we do for fun. Be the change you want to see in the world! Pitch in and help out!
In any case, this is not a "serious quality-of-life issue." The tiles cover information that most repeat players have memorized and that is also available in the UI via the conversions menu.
Stick to accounting; you don't really have a head for interface design.
Message me. If you'd like to pay me, I'm sure we can work something out.
Like I said, we can all work together to keep making this a great game. If it's something that's bothering you, be the change you want to see in the world. Maybe it's by making the change yourself. Maybe it's by paying someone (doesn't have to be me!) to make the change for you. Whatever path you take, just know that we're all volunteers working for the same goal: A great game!
Just a general note, I feel the topic is getting a little heated. From this point on, I may delete replies that are not conducive towards working together. Complaining about features and people is not a contribution, but presenting code changes and submitting solutions is.
"Dev chose to block the board with the booster tile"

"Board is blocked by the booster tile"
