My proposals for a better UI in the start

I like Surviving Mars.
And as many who express themselves vocally in the community doesn´t seem to like it as much as I do I feel the need to express the needs from somebody who enjoy the game very much (50-60h right now, in a week) I like to have a random mystery each time. But I do not always like random to randomise all mysteries. Give us an option to select which mysteries that should (or shouldn´t) be part of the randomisation. Same Idea could also be used for commanders.

Steal the embark screen from Dwarf fortress. Make it possible to set criteriums for my landing site and show me where thoose sites are. Maybe I don´t find a single site - maybe I find many. But it at least help me choose in another way than clicking around Mars.

The location chooser in Dwarf fortress. Something I hope Surviving Mars will get inspired by

Some eyecandy from one of my finished games. (still - would be nice if my marked objects did become unmarked on the screenshoot) Adding - would also be nice with an option to show/not show resource markers on the ground. I do not need to see them all the time, only when I like to look for them

Sounds like really good ideas, thought about posting them to the suggestions subforum though?

Thank you for the detailed feedback and excellent presentation - these are all very interesting points.

Yes, I did - a couple of minutes after I posted and was sitting in my car.

Thank you for the detailed feedback and excellent presentation - these are all very interesting points.

And thanks for listening even If it did arrive in the wrong forum -
Good luck with the work.

What I would like is a screen of currently selected passengers summary when manually approving applicants, have to remember or note a lot variables(male/female ratio, prof and etc)
Edit: maybe even include current colony stats on the screen too
