Forgot to add a must-have utility function:
6. Information & Rumors
– when new rumor is added to the log book the town it belongs to should be moved to the top of the list, so you don’t have to sift through all available entries. That way the most fresh & relevant rumors are being kept in orderly fashion, and the older ones are sinking down.
Also,
same could be applied in “5. Factions & Relations” list of settlements bringing to the top the ones which received reputation changes (positive or negative).
Next is the new (rather old) addition taken from the thread “Make footprints more visible“:
9. Footprints color switch
It could be preset colors (white-black-red to save dev.time) or something in the options menu to set a custom color.
