Science UI

[Yadda9To5]

I'm not looking forward to see a list with 120+ scientists that i'll have go through select lists to manage (especially the fancy styled select lists that are still lagging in my browser)

Maybe instead create a table, if you use radio buttons the backend form handling wouldn't need to change. Like

                                          | Tools | Alchemy | Housing | Food | Military | Crime | Channeling
Novice Curudrel, 72 days until Graduate   | [x]   | []      | []      | []   | []       | []    | []
Novice Nidita, 72 days until Graduate     | [x]   | []      | []      | []   | []       | []    | []

[Exxo]

Totally this. Please.

This was my first thought when I saw the renewed science page.

But thinking about it some more, I don't think a table would be that much more convenient.

Alas, I have no alternative suggestion at this time.

[Yadda9To5]

You could just enter raw numbers, like it was, make the game smart enough to pick the ones with least experience when removing them. But then you wouldn't see the names / couldn't assign names directly, and the names are cute.

           | Assigned            | Add                                    | Remove
Tools      | 2 N, 4 G,1 P        | [ ]                                    | [ ]

Food       | 2 N, 4 G,1 P        | [ ]                                    | [ ]
Military   | 2 N, 4 G,1 P        | [ ]                                    | [ ]
Crime      | 2 N, 4 G,1 P        | [ ]                                    | [ ]
Channeling | 2 N, 4 G,1 P        | [ ]                                    | [ ]

Free scientists: 4 
           | [Assign Scientists] | [Remove Scientists] [x] confirm remove

(2 butons and confirm checkbox for remove to prevent most ****ups)

Though i suppose that if you want you could just list the names below each science cat, in a very tiny small font ;)

[long list of names again]
.......

[Verminator]

The names are fun now, but they're exactly the sort of feature that will get annoying eventually because the UI is so clunky and sprawling.

Please consider at least moving "days to next level" from science page to advisor page?

[Verminator]

Well that was probably the quickest fix I've ever seen in the history of Utopia. MUCH better interface Bishop, love the way scientists are listed in science category blocks.

[noobium]

I'd add an option to mass-assign scientists from one category to another. It will get awfully tedious to switch over 15 scientists from one to another individually...

[neanderthal]

It's currently a nightmare on a mobile. And with only 18. Can't imagine 80+. Needs
Heavy work to be decent.

[neanderthal]

Damn your fast Bishop. That's a LOT better.

[neanderthal]

Hope it stays in order. Ie. Novice at top for each category and professor at bottom. Not all jumbled or something.
