It would be nice if the research bar started right justified - showing new things rather than old.

I agree. every time I have to get something new, I have to go over them to get to it. It would be easier to just have it already there.

Might even make the old research collapse. Have a collapsed "Researched" section, the most current, and the next step show by default. I would be willing to settle for a right justify though. Probably easier to do.

with a colapsed research section, the research levels can me numbered by level so a player can see how far they have come.

I'm bumping this because this would be a really appreciated upgrade. At the moment, every research I have is off the screen and it would save a lot of clicking if it opened up at the best research you could do.

Same thing with me, all of my research areas are now off the page, and some of my research fields I now have to click twice to get to my current tech level. Having it auto-display would save a lot of clicks.

It does have an arrow on the side that makes it so you can only click once or twice to get far along. Unless you are really far along it should only take once. Dan has a lot of things to do right now other than worry about that. I'm sure it's somewhere on his to do list but he is only one person and he has to keep up with new missions and and NPC opponent's as well since most of the high ranking players are running out of them. Once he comes out with a new research tier you may see this option available. Please be patient and wait for him to catch up with all the calls for updates he will let you know when he is ready to start working on this I'm sure.

The arrow saves you three clicks per click, it skips 4 while doing it the normal way skips one. So if you were an average rank one hundred with 9th teir research on all trees(Like I am) it would take you 1 and one half clicks to get to the end(As you start off at the fourth already). If you were on twelth teir research probably a level 150+ it would take you 2 clicks. So this isnt really a problem as one click plus the time it takes for the bar to slide would be a total of 2 SECONDS wasted. So i would wait for more important things to be added and fixed before this was implemented.

I'll give this another 3 month bump. I'm at the point where I have to click the tab 4x to get it to the current research levels. I realize this is a really minor thing but seems like it would be easy to fix and make a lot of people more satisfied.

I spend it often enough to care, and some of my trees are far above my level range... so I support this. It's also pretty trivial to fix I think, so it won't detract from other stuff.

Right justification would be nice, but something abit more useful would be a couple new tooltips. First, a mouse-over tooltip when you pass over the research tier box that tells you how long to finish that tier, with your current research/hour income. Secondly, another mouseover tooltip that lights up when you pass over your total research stored. It would let you know how long until you hit your rank-cap.

It would also be useful to see total research spent in a tree and also see the current tech level (for example, Gravshell Construction is level 10).
