thats really awesome, thank you!
Hi all, just wanted to welcome and thank everyone for their hard work - editing and page creation has really picked up! I can't take credit for creating this page not sure who did.
I am really enjoying Planetbase so far.
Looking forward to building consensus and producing great content with all of you!
Any suggestions on using Categories vs manually linking pages together? I am not sure if Categories are the best or not, but it seems to be some of the most frequent edits (adding categories, removing categories, changing cateogy names, etc).
The only reason I like the categories is they automatically list all pages linked, so it is easy to build up a structure of related content. EX:
vital resources
-> water
-> water extractor
-> water tank
etc. I find the more content links to other content, the easier it is to find related, relavent information.
Does anyone else have thoughts? I was just doing what is easy but it is important for us to find consensus and maintain consistency.
"One thing I've noticed that can be a bit inconsistent is the "build cost/operate cost" table for each structure. Somebody (forgive me for not knowing who) started out making the tables as above, with a column for build costs and a column for operating costs, and then extra columns where necessary (eg. Capacity). My initial thought was it would be best to separate the build cost column into Metal and Biosplastic columns, and similarly the operate cost column into Power and Water. Honestly I'm not really sure which works best, as the tables do change quite a bit depending on the structure. Furthermore, some structures' operate costs change based on the components, so if anything we'd have to record empty levels."
(from main page talk -- couldn't figure out how to reply there :(
I went with a combined column for all costs for simplicity and to try and avoid the need for empty columns should we ever move to a template. My thought was the text would eventually be replaced by icons - ideally we should have concensus on table format when that change is made.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
That is awesome. I would suggest that the no glow version might be a bit clearer to see. But since you are doing the work, if one method is easier than another that works too!
