Friday Blog 145 - Contest still Active and a Statistics Video

Impressive Work-In-Progress Spaceship by Boneidle

Last week’s contest for ten Artificial Extinction Steam Keys still lasts another week! Until now, we’ve had five submissions, not counting Boneidle’s unfinished project above. That means that you’ve got a good chance of winning even without a megabuild that costs dozens of hours to build! You can find the details on how to participate here.

We’ve kept making good progress on the statistics menu and it’s getting close to a quality that is ready for release. There are now icons on the right side of the map to indicate which items lines represent. That makes the graph a lot more usable.


Zun also added numbers and lines on the x-axis, and lines to indicate midnight on the y-axis. There’s also a new button to switch between linear and logarithmic scale. The logarithmic scale inflates the lower end of the graph, which is often crowded by plenty of items. This makes it easier to recognize and distinguish trends there while simultaneously keeping track of more plentiful items. To demonstrate this effect and others, we made a short and simple video:

The basic features of the graph seem mostly done. It still needs a search bar with the option to filter categories. And we’d like to add a second tab with “non-stockpile” information, like data concerning happiness. When that’s done, the update will be released!
