example. You have created 3 more levels of armor.

instead of putting them at the end it prompts you if you would like to insert it after the current armor in the text file ( could be an option you turn off or on )

I don't understand, does it not do this already?

Then allow you to edit it on the family tree.

yea this would be nice. Not quite what you want but have you tried the print command from the file menu? It won't actually Print when you select it but will open up a list of components or facilities organized by family in your text editor. (thus allowing you to print it from there if you want)

And another cool idea i have is the create family

where you create the first item and then it asks you what you wish to see for the cost factors for each level afterwards ( ie cost in minerals , size , damage resistance , and then values and weapon stuff )

then the family window pops up with the results and then you can commit that family or edit it and save the changes or cancel it.

Uh isn't this already in there? Other that the Last bit. Clicking OK in the Create Family window commits the changes. They would then have to be edited in the usually way

Ah i think i see what you mean. if you click the New button it puts it at the end of the file. If however you say edit 'Armor III' and change the name and everything else to your new armor type it will let you save it after Armor III

Hi David Yes that is what I was saying.

For the other two suggestions it is just on presentation of data. And make it easier to see a whole family with one frame...

Components.txt from AST Mod v.1.9.6. Some of the components are invisible, after convertation of tabs to spaces, everything ok.

Well, the image mod contains more than 1000 component images, but the modder only goes up to 900. Unless I'm missing something here?
