Spire: Add the Standard Goods Pull Down Menu

[Blue-Iris]

Just started playing the spire today. Didn't know I was close to running out of coins and supplies until they were highlighted in red during negotiations. By then I was so close to winning, I paid the diamonds to continue. It would be helpful to have the standard goods pull down menu available at the top of the spire so I could make an informed choice.

 

[SoggyShorts]

Yes!
Also, how about adding
These:

to this:

?

So that once you make that informed choice you can either trade for goods, wholesaler, or use an instant.

 

[Blue-Iris]

Yes!! It's clunky to always have to go home first to get those things done.

If you are playing on the browser, all you have to do is mouse over each good to see exactly how much you have.

If you are playing on mobile you just have to touch goods box to the left of your coin supply on the diplomacy screen.

True, but viewing them one at a time is still clunky when trying to compare the different values with each other to decide which resources to burn first, and for coins/supplies this doesn't tell you how close the values are to the max cap.

 

[Sir Squirrel]

yeah this is a good idea.

 

[Lelanya]

I like it too

 

[Aritra]

I'm for it.
It is a feature on mobile I really wish was also on desktop.
It is possible to check inventory on desktop, but I much, much prefer the mobile version (sometimes I Spire on mobile just for this reason).

Very good point.

 

[Darielle]

I'd vote for it, if it came up for a vote.

 

[shimmerfly]

+1 good idea

 

[NightshadeCS]

Definitely in favor of this!

 

[Rocce Sqirl]

Me too! It's especially irritating when I'm at the third challenge and THAT is when I find I'm low on some item. Do either I spend diamonds or throw away the first two challenges to go back and reload. I'd want the menu for ALL items, anything the Spire wants you to spend.
It'd also be nice to be able to access the Trader while in the Spire. Spire is a page while trader is just a window. Should be possible.

They want you to use diamonds so you have to buy more,

Well of course they do! And I don't begrudge them for wanting to. After all, diamond purchases do pay for our fun. Thing is, it doesn't really work. I'll back out and go trade for the goods I need anyway. Just that it's an unnecesary PITA. Besides, if "forcing" diamons purchases was really the goal, there would not be so many free ones available in the Spire. The suggestion above would just make the game smoother.
So would putting a Trader icon on the Spire page, so we could maybe acquire goods needed to do the encounters.

It does work for most players which is why Inno gives that option. Backing out to go trade means sacrificing all the goods you've already committed during the negotiation process. 25 diamonds seems like nothing compared to kissing goodbye to thousands in coin, supplies and goods.

Actually, I realized this week that you're right. I'll spend the 25 diamonds before wasting the coin, supplies and goods.
But it would still be useful to be able to access the drop-down menu. I did back out a couple of times before I began a negotiation becuse I did not know how much of a certain good I had.
