I always disliked having to click a hundred times before placing a constructionsite in a densely built area... :)
> Furthermore not all overlaps are of interest. So maybe defining a list of buildings where the overlap should be shown would be good. In this case I would vote to have them as a table in the lua definition of a building.
This is the only place for them where they make sense IMHO :)
> Additionally I noticed that the shortcut to toggle the overlapping overlay off works only in one direction. Pressing it again did not reactivate the overlay
Reason for this is that I don´t know how to obtain the information which building you´re pointing at except on mouse-in events. Will try to fix it though…
> Another Idea for the display might be to just show the overlapping sectors in the actual work area of the building to be placed.
They are already stronger-coloured, the rest of the workarea is drawn much paler
> that would be even better if we could highlight the related buildings
+1 – suggestions how to indicate them appreciated :)
