This is a very minor low priority gripe that I bet would be super easy to fix, if Dan so chooses: It would be nice if the research tree started with the current tech, and scrolled to past techs. So either change the order they appear, or change the scrolling from right to left.

Not a biggie, and I can certainly live with the extra click it takes to get to my tech, it's just one of those "little things."

I had a post that seems to have been eaten. I was proposing that the tree collapse down from its current form, having it look more like a stack of cards from a solitaire game but that they would extend sideways instead of downward like in solitaire.

Then they could expand outward when you click on the avenue of research that you'd like to explore. Then if at some point later dan added branches off of a type of research it would extend downward
Example


[[[[[]
[[[[[]
[[[[[]
[[[[[]
[][][][][][][][][] <- building/sturctures
------------- [] <-additon to the above branch. Eg Nano-Hardened structures
(ignore the dashes above the forum won't let there be blank spaces.)
Nano-Hardedend structures cost 10% more credits and mineral but each one adds one point of defense to the planet.

By opening up the space available on the reserach screen you could add in more layers if you wanted to expand the system.

Bump! Now that I'm several tiers deep in all tech branches this is getting more annoying.

A new thread was started on this subject, and the first person suggested that the research tree be right-justified. (as in the research trees are automatically scrolled all the way over to the most recent)

i did suggest the same thing a few weeks ago, the reply i got was there is better things to do in the game
then fix this trivial matter.

I usually ignore the posts from others that say Dan has more important stuff to deal with

The only one who knows who can prioritize Dan's work is Dan. If you have an idea or suggestion, large or small, important or not, post it!
