First row is the total item on hand Second row is the amount of items coming in Would be nice to see how much is going out in a third row.

Copied from original issue: tankorsmash/BuildUpTheBase#10

The old display used to be # of harvesters and # of salesmen and each of their output, ie selling x/sec and harvesting x/sec but I decided that it was too much information. Now that it's changed, I feel the same as you do, that you don't see enough of what you're doing. I'm thinking about a better way to show that off too.

In the meantime, you can see the dollar values above each of the resources (internally, ingredients) along the bottom.

That bar is too difficult to read (see https://github.com/tankorsmash/BuildUpTheBase_bugreports/issues/4) Perhaps if that was different, it would be better.

Which bar? The progress bar when it's tracking coins and upgrade progress? It's using a placeholder texture so maybe once it gets a proper progress bar look, it'll be resolved?

It's more to gauge rough progress rather than precision though. Maybe there's some other information I could show too to work around the problem?

I guess it comes back to the issue of having to hold onto a certain number of items, so i wanted to know how much I am selling so i can make sure the number I am harvesting is always above the number im selling (yielding a positive return).

I was talking about that bar on the bottom, looking at the monetary values of them is not as useful seeing as how im not sure how much each one is worth individually.

Oh I see what you mean, that the salesmen output that pops isn't readable, so you don't really have a good way of seeing how much each building is outputting so you can't make those decisions you're talking about.

Thanks for clarifying dude, I think I get what you're saying now.

Just made a quick fix that actually looks nicer if not more chaotic:
