[Rejected] Bring current score on top of geoscape, like $
« on: February 11, 2025, 12:24:34 am »
There not room left for another addition, I understand, but may be various "date-box" styles can be implemented (selected by simple clicking on), include both $ and Score with compact date format (hh:mm dd-mm-yyyy) or one of these with current date format.

Yes, like a research costs in tech tree viewer it is debatable option in pov of game "ethic". But for some megamods here it will make life much easier, esp for beginners.

I think this was already rejected in the past. There does exist a debug-mode option to see score instead of cash. It was intentionally left as a debug-mode-only option.

Yes, this was already rejected.

Real-time updating score display on the globe is a cheat.
It would give the player an equivalent of a free planet-wide 100% effective radar/alien activity detector.

This can exist only as a dev/modder debug/balancing tool.
