[Suggestion] Easier sell on Android
« on: February 09, 2025, 04:34:27 pm »
Anyone playing on android? Are there any third party overlay apps you use to add mouse mid, shift, alt, and control clicks to basescape specifically? I tried looking in the play store but none of the suggested apps seem to have this exact functionality. The battlescape buttons don't show up in geoscape and I'm not sure this option exists as I double checked everything. I guess openxcom wasn't made with massive mods in mind. I have to run pedia in browser to double check if if it's a crafting component and speaking of selling, holding tap to sell 7000 rocks takes more than 10 minutes, I had to resort to just editing a save file.

I play the game on Android, though it seems like it wasn’t primarily designed for this platform. Despite that, it’s still playable. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard with a middle mouse button, but it’s not very convenient. Additionally, the game tends to crash occasionally with Bluetooth devices.

As for the small rocks, they are part of a recipe used to create a product made from them and platasteel, which is highly profitable.

I'd say massive mods were not made with openxcom in mind.

speaking of selling, holding tap to sell 7000 rocks takes more than 10 minutes

5 minutes and 50 seconds

do you have a suggestion how to improve it?

The longer you keep pressing the button the faster it goes?

A similar widget to that visible in battlescape, with icons when pressed changes behavior of tapping from "left mouse click" to right mouse click or maybe 10xleft mouse click.
I have no idea what is or is not possible on Android. But something like I press this button and now 1 screen tap counts as 10 screen taps" seem most simple as a concept.

Some kind of an auto sell manager would be ideal, both for pc and android. Like if you could set up desired amounts of certain items at a base and everything over that amount you can sell with a single click. Would also solve the issue with random events and loot boxes constantly producing junk items.
I know I'm asking too much but that's an idea.

One solution could be same as done by some some kitchen appliances where you have on button to set time from 1m to 2h.
If you hold button down for long time its start speedup increment, at first by 1 after 10s it will bump by 10, then by 100 etc.
This could be timer or simply count number how much it already increment.
