2 GUI Requests

[Nerpaderp]

Hi,
I say this in every post but - awesome stuff so far.
2 GUI requests, 1 simple 1 maybe not?

• 1) Currently it seems the flow to open a specific animal's info panel from the Zoo-Animal-Mgmt screen is clicking the locate icon and then clicking the actual animal once you find it. Can you make a button that zooms to the animal and opens it's info panel in the same click? Same for employees etc. Maybe there already is a hotkey for this i'm missing.

• 2) When building waterfalls in high detail habitats - you sometimes need to go back and remove or adjust position of the waterfall effect pieces to make it look right...they often get buried under lots of rock, etc though, and become impossible to find/click on without removing the landscape work you've done. Can you add the ability to marquee select and then show all pieces of a certain type (effect props) in a list so they can then be selected, moved with M and X or Deleted?

Thanks,
Derp.

+1 agree with a better way to select objects that are overlapping. Currently it drives me absolutely crazy with trying to click on objects.

My issue is even way more simple than yours, and it's still just as frustrating. Try putting a speaker between the legs of an information board, then try clicking on it.

Most of the time you end up just selecting the information board because the hit box is so dang big. There's even worse times when you still can't select it because some guest has their foot in the way since they just shove themselves right up inside the information boards.

Most of the time I have to like move the camera down below everything and try to select it at an angle from underneath. Ridiculous.

Its the same way in Planet Coaster so don't expect it to change. Easiest thing to do is select, get the wrong thing, delete it, the select again to get the right thing and undo the delete.

As for #1, pretty much everyone except Frontier agrees that is how it should work.

UI/UX Feedback Megathread

So I managed to find a copy of my beta feedback thread on UI/UX issues. Unfortunately this is a slightly older version than what was on the beta forum when it was closed because I wasn't updating my copy on disk, but I figure this is better than nothing. I'm going to go through this and...
