Tumblers better than bars

[unmerged(34319)]

The allocation bars are a real pain in the hand.
Far better would be to have tumblers...
think of a slot machine display of numbers with a + above and a - below to adjust the numbers. Then a bulls eye on the right which allows you to click on it and it is automatically set to the 'needed' number and a lock on the left which locks in the number from changes.

A button to change automatically to the value needed would be useful indeed. Also, remember that you can speed up the bar progress by holding CTRL or SHIFT while pressing the buttons.

Something better than bars..

I agree, I spend way too much time, trying to get right to the number that it needs, and then finding it all out of line with the value just a couple days later.

I think you need something that can lock the slider to the percentage that you are filling the values: An example,
I need 112 Consumer goods, so I lock my slider on 112, (100% of the value) When Consumer good demand rises, and my slider is locked. Next when I check it Consumer goods demand might be at 125 while my supply locked at 112. here my demand has oustripped my supply, but if I could %Lock then when consumer goods rises to say 115, and I had it %Lockd' at 100% then the next time I check the screen my Consumer Goods should be 115....

I would think you would then have to weight them in case you rig all your bars to %lock and your economy comes up short. The condunrum becomes which %Lock will have to unlock?

Anybody have a remedy for constantly fiddling with the bars?
\ Solution provided -> CTRL and SHIFT, help speed up the movement of the toggle on the bar.
