	Industry stat Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to calculate your industry output for your empire? I would like to know total industry, support, and useable industry. I don't want to have to click on each base and calculate that myself

well, if it's YOUR empire, you don't actually need to "click" on each of your bases.
You can click on the first, and then browse them all using the right arrow key...

Seriously, I also like to draw that stat in my games, and I haven't found anything better than adding mineral/production/support figures base by base.

I liked that 'demographics' screen in Civ. Too bad they never included something similar in SMAC.

I can use the arrow key? Cool, I didn't know that!

Can you? Or do you just mean the little right arrow button on screen?

Yeah, I think he means the little arrows on either side of the base names. Still, it is a tad annoying having to complie everything - and yeah, there should be a demographics screen. I would also like the population to be a little more specific, as it was in civ2....

Yes, that's the thing I find most inconvenient, not being able to see the size of each base in the F4 screen.

No, he does not mean the arrows next to the base names. The arrow keys on your keyboard can be used to move back and forth between your bases. Also, if memory serves, the spacebar will advance you to the next base. Other undocumented hotkeys I've found are:

'c': will change production, bringing up the production selection screen.
'p': same thing.
'h': brings up the hurry production window.
'r': brings up the rename base window.
''esc': closes the window.

Man, I have to spend some time fiddling around finding some of these tricks.

This is just like the time a friend and I finished Panzer General without realizing you could upgrade your units in between missions, rather than only during them.

Yeah the Civ F1 screen is the basis for my original complaint. In that screen you could see the cities population, industry, trade, and what they were building.

So why the hell did they get rid of that in SMAC?!?

The arrow keys he was talking about are the < and > keys, basically what happens when you push shift on the comma (,) and period(.) keys. You do not need to push shift. Once you open up a base screen you can scroll through all your bases really easily, I think they are listed in alphabetical order. This is really handy for factions that are heavy in micromanagement or if you have a crappy mouse and especially handy if you have both =].
