Title: Calendar / schedule of arrivals and base events?
Post by: beer and strategy on July 23, 2018, 06:43:55 pm

First off, hello everyone.  First post here on the forums.  Relatively new XCOM fan, loving OXC at the moment and can't wait to play some mods in the future.

Not sure if it has been covered in the past, but I was wondering if anyone else saw value in a "calendar" view, either in the Geoscape or at base level - maybe in the base information screen.  It would just be a list of upcoming personnel / materiel arrivals, conclusions of construction projects, manufacturing runs, transfers, etc.  One thing I did a lot as a beginner (and still do from time to time) is forget which things I've just purchased or recruited and end up double-spending on some things.  Seems like a simple list or queue of these upcoming events would be pretty helpful for keeping track of transactions you've made but have not yet come to completion.

In the base view, click on "Base information" and then on "Transfers"... there's your list of things purchased and people hired, so that you don't double-spend.

Double-spending on building facilities and manufacturing projects should not be possible, since you always go through a list of ongoing work before you can start new one.

PS: an idea for all these things on just one place is not bad, but IMO just nice to have since all of it is already available somwehere
