Feature to allow players to view a Bricktron's current thought message?
Say a Bricktron worker is moving a bag of resources from the Mine to a Stockpile. When the player hovers their cursor over this Bricktron worker, the player can expect to see a message bubble floating and following the Bricktron worker, saying "I am bringing "IRON" over to Stockpile 7!".
If an Archer sees a Corruptron coming and is aiming at it, and the player quickly hovers their cursor over this Archer, the message bubble would say, "I am shooting at the oncoming Corruptron enemy!"
I am suggesting a better method for players to see and read the thoughts of Bricktrons that they are currently doing or going through. The players do not need to interrupt the Bricktrons. All they have to do is hover their mouse cursor above the Bricktrons to read the messages in the Bricktron's head.
Some notes on why this is beneficial to everyone:

Some notes on why this is beneficial to everyone:
- It helps the player to easily spot the problems and quickly amend them.
- Can debug issues quickly when there are many Bricktrons getting stuck in dense areas. (Forests, rows of Stockpiles, etc.)
- Players can read interactive messages to pass time while waiting for other players/enemies to start on multiplayer and single player game sessions.
- Can also help EvaxQA to debug and nail down issues that requires reproducing them.
- Adds a bit of life to Bricktrons.
Comments
I agree.
So far, the message bubble, "Nothing to do", is doing what it's supposed to do when the player wants to know the Bricktron's current thought process, only when it's doing nothing. I am only requesting an extension of this feature, so that it applies to all actions, and the Bricktron's current thought process while doing all these actions.
