If others support this idea, I'd be willing to implement it; it shouldn't be that difficult. Let's tweak the values first though, thanks for offering to work on them.

I have a question: for all possible buildings (all coal mines/ all woodcutters)? Or each building, one by one (50 times for woodcutters, 100 times for each mine)? einstein13 calculations & maps packages: http://wuatek.no-ip.org/~rak/widelands/ backup website files: http://kartezjusz.ddns.net/upload/widelands/ Top Quote

Or, if i build a wooodcutter to chop a few trees i would want to dismantle it when it's done, but if for some reason i placed one in a semidesertic area i'd just want it to work at 30% and would rather silence it.

Adding a button for whole building types (e.g. Mute/Unmute all Deep Gold Mines at once) would be more complicated. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

I did a rework of these a few weeks ago; looks like the frequency of messages still isn't optimal. Could you please play around with the values a bit to see what would be the best productivity % to trigger the message? e.g. for the Barbarian Lumberjack (tribes/barbarians/lumberjacks_hut/conf), we have `productivity_threshold=66` at the moment. The trigger for the mines is separate from these. We could also adjust how often these messages get sent - at the moment, Widelands will only send them again after 30 minutes in-game have expired. We could adjust the frequency of the messages for the mines separately from the other production buildings. ok, i can't do it myself because if i open the file with notepad, it saves it as txt and it doesn't work anymore, and if i open it with wordpad, it says i lack the autorization even if i am admin. however, i'd try either 49% or 29% as threshold Top Quote

I can do that on win7 64-bit, idk what OS you have.

Adding a button for whole building types (e.g. Mute/Unmute all Deep Gold Mines at once) would be more complicated. For all building it should be easy too. Only new GUI is needed. I think that the easiest way to introduce the global behaviour is: when you press "mute all", in all buildings chosen type "mute" button is enabled. When you press "unmute all", all buildings change state to "mute disabled". @ king_of_nowhere: I see the point to both ways: "all buildings" and "each building". For "all buildings" you wrote: all gold mines, because you have lack of gold in the mountains you have. "For each building" it can be used in (for example) woodcutters which are chopping trees far from foresters to prevent spawning them next to farms (I do that very often). einstein13 calculations & maps packages: http://wuatek.no-ip.org/~rak/widelands/ backup website files: http://kartezjusz.ddns.net/upload/widelands/ Top Quote

That sounds good But it has to be written somewhere. New players HAVE TO KNOW that (have the possibility to know). einstein13 calculations & maps packages: http://wuatek.no-ip.org/~rak/widelands/ backup website files: http://kartezjusz.ddns.net/upload/widelands/ Top Quote
