Confirmation message if food used is over 100

-Eric- 8 years ago updated by Lorinthar 8 years ago 4

I somehow almost added another digit to my food use number before hitting "use" today. I would of used 222 food instead of 22. I am guessing this would not be a problem for most people but It gave a me a bit of a scare. I also ended up using couple hundred food at about a month ago by mistake and would of loved this confirmation!


Would there be any value to adding a "are you sure you want to consume X amount of food?" box for any amount over 100?


I can't see this being a nuisance for anybody and I am sure would save a few people some resources. lol

I've done construction actions where I had to eat more than 100 food at a time. I think a better warning would be triggered not by going over a fixed number (100? 20? 1000?) but using more food than it would take to get the player to the minimum timer. So eating 4 or more 3-second foods for an 18-second action could trigger it too, but eating 150 2-second foods for a 360-second action would be fine.

Sure I like that better if it would not be too hard to code.

I wouldn't see it needing to be at any specific amount like stated, I'd rather it asked for confirmation when eating any amount honestly, though I know even that is a pain, but it'd still help ensure we don't over-eat and waste foods(I went to eat 16 and yea I over-ate by a long shot and totally wasted food :/ I hate doing that, lol so I'd welcome this with open arms, please???::) =)

People are going to blindly click the confirmation if it pops up too often. Alerts should be for unusual events only.
