View Supplier not showing custom names

[jondonnis]

Making custom names for places pointless. I've named my farms 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. They supply specific stores. I'm at the store, I choose View Supplier, it's doesn't show this custom name so I'm unsure if I've linked the correct farm or not. Mega annoying.

I think it shows up in certain windows/instances.

Usually I just set their prices slightly different to distinguish them, it's easy to set and spot. Your are paying yourself anyway, the internal sales price might as well be used as indicators.

The custom name of your factory should show up on the "Pick supplier window" like the one indicated in the attached screen.

Yes, it shows up in that window, that's fine. But then go to "Supplier" it doesn't show it there. Showing in Link is of no use AFTER I've already linked the supplier. Because if I click Link again it doesn't show me which supplier I'm linked too. Which is why the custom name SHOULD (and this REALLY needs to be in the next update or custom names are pointless) appear on the Supplier tab as well.

Currently I have to go "Supplier" then "Go to Supplier", I then find out which custom name I've linked to and then I have to find the store again because there is no "back to store" option. This is making micro-management a nightmare. That's one of the main issues why Capitalism 2 and Cap Lab haven't become mainstream because of the poor micro-management issues. This is just one of them.



So I'm already linked, I choose link for Eggs. Doesn't show me who I'm linked too.



I choose supplier it doesn't show the custom name.



I then Go To Supplier, find out the custom name, but have no option to go back to the store I was at unless I go via Clients.

Once you have 100s of stores running, it's a nightmare and makes me just give up hence I end up having month breaks from the game until the micro-management issues are made more manageable.

Actually there is a "go back to previous firm" button, in the bottom tool bar on the left of the current cash display, with a reverse "play" icon (hotkey "q"). However it only "remembered" two previous firms. I think this could also be improved with a longer queue (technically a stack)

I have forwarded your request regarding the display of the firm custom name to the dev team.
