Cistern Icons
Barrels have the icons for what is inside them. For cisterns, we have to put signs infront of them or just guess what is inside unless we open them up. Could we get icons on cisterns similar to barrels to help identify the cisterns especially when dealing with multiple cisterns? This would be a really small improvement but would help a lot tbh.

Re: Cistern Icons
Dont even have a cistern yet, but it does sound pretty helpful since i have a bunch of barrels i'm able to tell apart.

Re: Cistern Icons
Couldn't you just make the cisterns with different colours to differenciate them?

Re: Cistern Icons
Tbh, I do this and even do different bases for different things but I have a section in my village where I store a lot of different liquids and as I run out of milk, it sometimes fills with water and gets switched around. This is especially the case with a lot of villagers interacting with them too. And that is kind of the reason I thought of this because half the issue is also knowing which ones are empty and which ones have something in it because I do not look at them everyday and sometimes my villagers forget to tell me that a cistern is empty and then I suddenly have to do a water run without expecting to do it I guess.LadyGoo wrote:Couldn't you just make the cisterns with different colours to differenciate them?

Re: Cistern Icons
i want em, but i also want the icon to appear on all 4 sides of the cistern. since it could be hidden if we accidently put the "front" of it facing another cistern.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.

Re: Cistern Icons
May be usefyl, but firstly we should have different icins for different liquids, so you can be sure none of your villagers will make a cisternt, containing shittons of 'Milk' by puting a leftovers of sheepmilk into the almost full cistern of cowmilk, because, you know, ''it had a sheepmilk icon, so I putted it there''

Re: Cistern Icons
I think having 1 generic milk icon is nice and shouldn't be changed. People need to learn from their mistakes. It's the entire point of the game.Enjoyment wrote:May be usefyl, but firstly we should have different icins for different liquids, so you can be sure none of your villagers will make a cisternt, containing shittons of 'Milk' by puting a leftovers of sheepmilk into the almost full cistern of cowmilk, because, you know, ''it had a sheepmilk icon, so I putted it there''
