Alert when out of resources #685

Open milons opened 2 years ago

It would be nice if the game will alert you that resources required for production are not available/gone/run out. E.g. if charcutier needs wood and the user is out of wood, it could mark wood as red or change the background.

is this a good place for feature requests? (maybe so! not trying to be a downer)

I do know this reply is very late, but as the design guide says, the theme for this game is white and black only. Of course it would probably be possible to have messages in the log for when resources run out (similar to how you are alerted when you run out of cured meat or water in the dusty path).
