Quality of life suggestion: Projected resource gain

[Husein]

With new building and population system it becomes hard to keep track of what your income will look like once your buildings are online and running so could we have a way to see projected resource income once all buildings and sectors we have are manned?

I'd be so much for this! Just a little (+x) next to your production number, showing the production of everything you're building.

Unfortunately, it isn't practical unless you make it very approximate. Assume that all new jobs will be filled by totally generic pops with no traits, or something similar.

Probably would help the AI, too.

I suspect that this was removed for performance reasons. If they change it, then the economy has to recalculate any time you change anything.

It recalculates already any time a site is manned. As it is sometimes there are sudden shifts and I often found myself loosing minerals energy or food out of nowhere. It could be something like this Energy income 1300/2400. First number being current total income, latter being total number when all your thingies are manned by pops. Even aproximations would help.

This would be a simple calculation:

Present output of jobtype X * number of jobs X in the new building/district

Only performed when you open the tab to press the build button, so not a problem for performance. And a good QoL improvement!

Edit: At least for a xenophobe monospecies no robots player like myself...
