Re: *** GMX Spamverdacht *** Re: Editor -> Resources -> 'Set Value' unused?

 

the problem is that we load the editor to fast these days 8). 

We used to have ‘hints’ there, but they can hardly be read anymore. We could something like “tipps of the week” when opening the editor, but they usually are obnoxious. Best we finally get the help system underway.

That is very useful when you want to create a mountain that does not contain the maximum resources. Change the set value to 30 and then place coal. There will be 30 coal. With the normal increase tool, you have to be careful because if you click twice on a field, the value is not 30 anymore.
