Hello,
First, I love the game. I'm about 40hr in.
I'm not sure if this is technically a bug, but I believe it is. It's not a code issue but rather a UI/input design issue, at least for the PS4 edition, latest update, no add-ons.
The game speed is changed by using the left/right D-pad buttons, but the D-pad buttons are also used to navigate various menus (Build, Resupply, Command Center, Research...). While in those menus, if the user presses left or right at a moment when those buttons don't apply, such as having no more cargo space or funds, or reaching the edge of the Research screen, the game will change the game speed. The only indication is the sound made when speed changes. The user may find all sorts of issues, in high speed, after lingering in a menu.
I propose that game speed be locked to only change when there is no focus on any other menu or building/dome/drone/citizen sub-menu. Or to require something like holding R2 and then the D-pad directional button.
Also, while we're here, can we just have the focus automatically go to the building/unit sub-menu when selected (Vs selecting and then hitting R2)?
Something else, content wise, I feel like the encyclopedia could be more technical or detailed. Such as, I still don't know what the different grades of metal or water do, or see how many visitors a building can accommodate. Honestly, I kinda need a full blown tech manual for this game. Theres a lot!
Lastly, maybe an option to make the GUI bigger, or maybe just on focus? My eyeses hurt.
Anyway, not to say I don't love it, cause I do!!
