Small addition - turf distances
Forums › Suggestions & Feedback › Small addition - turf distances-
When you select a turf on the map & go into it's information screen, you're told "Your closest turf to "X" is "Y"". You're then told, via the checklist, if you can cap the turf. It would be handy if it would also report the distance between the 2 turfs (0.5 mi versus 100 miles would make a big difference in terms of deciding whether to hop closer or not...). Yes, you can figure this out by loading the map, but in crowded areas that can be painful. I usually resort to google maps on a computer... having the distance there would just be a handy little addition
-
So you are saying that if the checklist says you aren't close enough, you would like the distance added to see how far a hop it would be?
-
Exactly... It already indicates what your closest turf is, I'd just also like to know how far away that is
-
That would be some useful information to have!

I'd settle even for just a cross-link to my nearest turf so that I could see where it is on the map. Being told that my 🍺 turf is the closest isn't very useful to me since I have about 500 🍺 turfs. ;)

Some of them already have links.

Not necessarily. Picture a giant circle around you. Say that your turf is located at "11:00" 100 miles away. Now say that the turf you want to cap is located at "1:00" 100 miles away. The difference between them would be 0, unless I am missing something?KilgoreTrout🍀 wrote:

So if I have 1 turf that's 100 miles away to the NW and I want to cap a turf 100 miles away to the Northeast, how far apart are they?

In that situation you would be better off hopping from your location than from a turf a 100 mile in the other direction 😜YOU wrote:

I have now figured out that the link for your turf appears at 994.3 miles. (At 994.2 miles it just says current location; at 994.3 miles the link shows up.)
-
I'd still like it to say "Your closest turf is {name} (2.35 mi)"

OK, randombloke, how about this: your turf "A" is 100 miles North from your current location. You want to capture turf "B," which is 100 miles Northeast of your current location. How far apart are A & B? (This is more logical since your current location wouldn't necessarily be closer to B.)

I like this idea more & more!
-
Liking the ideas. Always thought of putting this out for debate but never bothered.
-
I'm going to nominate this for the wiki HOF now.

👍👍👍👍👍

I really like this idea 👍👍👍👍👍

I just saw this. I am pleased to say that the cap checklist actually tells you how far away your turf is from the target turf. Great stuff 😊😊😊Doc Xray wrote:
