I used to play the original Outpost back in the 90s, I LOVED that game. Super stoked I stumbled on this remake of the game, thanks for all the work you've put into it! I've downloaded and built from source, and tried playing a bit. I've found a few bugs, incomplete items, or suggestions for further features. If you're open to community code submissions, I'm happy to take crack at implementing some of these. Please let me know if you'd mind if I submitted. If you're open to it, some of these are straightforward and I can dive in, for some of the more complicated ones I'd like to chat a bit and align on expectations.
****************************************************************
1) (Bug?) When placing surface tubes, attempting to place on non-dozed terrain will silently fail. Buildings will give a helpful error in the same circumstances, tubes should too.
2) I tried following the developer's guide forum post, and there are a few things that seem a little out of date. I had to make some tweaks to make it work. I don't mind writing up my findings and submitting some change suggestions, if you'd like.
3) Need a way to see building information before construction - perhaps right click over the buildings in lower left? I'm happy to take a stab at implementation.
4) (Bug) Pathing error where buildings are not recognized as not connected to command center. I only got it to do this once, and am working on replicating the situation. If this is a known bug in work, please let me know and I won't worry about it.
5) No help button in the in-game menu, you have to go to the main menu to see the help. Suggest a link in-game as well as the main menu.
6) It's difficult to see where resources are going each turn, it makes it difficult to estimate when I'll be resource positive from one turn to another. Would like some kind of breakdown for where resources go, it seems random if I'm going to be losing or gaining resources. On the "F1" screen, this might be a good window.
7) Users guide could explain the game mechanics, like do I need a smelter for my mine to get resources?
