Hi,

I have been thinking of making a change regarding the construction site.

Background:
Construction site animates the progress of the construction. Also percentage 
is shown if helper texts are on. In addition to these, the current trunk also 
changes the colors of these texts:
<25% ready -> red
25-75% ready: yellow
75+ % ready: green

That is a lot of redundancy.

Now, the actual question.

I have been thinking of changing this so, that the texts would be red if 
wares are missing, yellow if all wares have been found but at least some are 
still being transferred to the construction site, and green when everything 
neededed to complete the building are on-site. This would allow the player to 
notice approaching stalls and so.

Now, since you are already working something on the construction sites, I 
have hesitated to do anything.

Everybody: Would such change be useful, if I have time to do that?
Charly: Would that conflict with your improvements?

Regards,


	Teppo
