- Reason
- Managing Goods buildings becomes increasingly difficult as the city grows. When players have many buildings from different eras, it takes unnecessary time and effort to manually search through them to identify which Goods-producing buildings they own and which they are missing.
- Details
- I propose adding a dedicated Goods Buildings Overview interface.
A new button could be placed in Building Mode (or another logical UI location).
Clicking it would open a slide-out panel from the right side, with a collapsible arrow button.
The left side of the panel would display eras, starting from the earliest era up to the player’s current era.
Each era would be shown as a separate tile/window, with a representative image for quick visual recognition.
The familiar white-bearded Forge of Empires guide character could briefly explain the function of this panel.
When selecting an era:
The panel header would display the era name.
Below it, a counter such as 5/10 would indicate:
Total Goods buildings available in that era (10)
Number currently owned by the player (5)
Further down:
Icons/images of all Goods buildings from that era
Owned buildings displayed normally
Missing buildings displayed dimmed/darkened
Each building labeled with its Goods type
Clicking a building would open detailed information
- Balance
- This feature does not change gameplay mechanics, production rates, or progression. It is purely a quality-of-life UI improvement that enhances clarity and reduces frustration.
- Abuse Prevention
- No exploitation risks. The feature only displays information already accessible to the player, but in a more organized and user-friendly way.
- Summary
- A centralized Goods Buildings Overview panel would significantly improve usability. Players could instantly see:
Which Goods buildings they own
Which they are missing
Which era they belong to
This eliminates the need to manually inspect buildings one by one and keeps all Goods-related information in a single, convenient interface.
- Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?
- I have read some similars like adding building look things but not exactly this.

Here you can see concept of this gui, yellow is an goods building that we own, this building which we own will be in lighter colour and which we don't own will be dark that we don't own it, there will be names on bottom of buildings box's or on top and when we click on it there will be more details about that building. Also in this window here can be Tutorial Character who is telling us something like "Here you can view all the Goods buildings you own from this era!"
And button that we see, arrow button is for closing it so it's more easy for mobile players too for access it, better than opening annoying big windows, we can do it fastly by opening this window from right side.
