Summary	0017081: -XXX unfilled jobs is confusing
Description	In the tooltip for employment, you can get a message that shows a negative number of unfilled jobs. It says something like "-1234 unfilled jobs". I think this is supposed to mean 1234 unemployed, but it could be taken to mean 1234 unfilled jobs. Either way it's confusing for the player.
Tags	No tags attached.

keith.lamothe Jun 12, 2015 7:11 pm administrator ~0042203	For 0.878 (this is broader than any one mantis issue, but it all goes together) : === Top Bar HUD Overhaul === * Thanks to jerith, ptarth, iozay, Sounds, mooncows, Billick, kasnavada, tbrass, Mick, Elijah, YoukaiCountry, GarathJJ, SugeBearX, and others for inspiring these changes. * The Jobs, Housing, Meals, Crops, and Water sections: Now display as a percent of how much you have relative to how much you need for your planned (current + disabled + under construction) jobs/population. Have reworked logic for whether they show up grayed-out, white, or red. Have totally reworked tooltips noting how much is disabled and under construction and various other things. Can now be clicked to bring up a "ledger" window showing the buildings impacting the relevant number(s). * The Repairs section now also has a click-for-ledger behavior. * The Trash and Graves sections now display the number of turns until you're expected to run out of dumps/graves, or "---" if you're not having a net filling at all, or "CAP!" if you're already at cap and still producing more than is consumed. And if they're <= 5 turns to cap, or capped, they flash red. The graves count against an estimated number of new bodies to expect next turn, based on recent turns (note that this recent turn data isn't in old saves, so it can take a bit for this to catch up there). * The Max Population tooltip now lists the individual limiting factors (housing, meals, crops, water) and which of them are actually holding the number down. Thanks :)
