Hey, its looking good. I really like the fact that the table scrolls down now, and the resource type.

Hello! That reference is really useful. Few comments/questions:

1. The ratios table entries for buildings that have "or" production are a bit off - e.g. if Black Market Bazzar produces 0.85 Food or 0.85 Water or ... and so on, then the expected ratio per minute per each item is much lower. The ratio table says "0.85 0.85 0.85 ..." as if the building produced all of them, but in fact it's 0.85/number of options (28 in this case)... So the actual ratio is more like 0.03 per resource.

2. Are there any plans to add columns for new storage limits to the reference? E.g. clay.

3. What do you use as your data source? For example, I've found this: https://www.apewebapps.com/apps/my-colony/0.53.0/game.js but I'm not sure if it's correct.

@mb in reply to your questions:
1) the ratios are assumed using a specific time frame for each 'tick' that is used in the game. There is also a modifier that involves how many active workers in each building. If only half are working then only half as much is being produced. The numbers stated are for full production.

3) That is the main data source for the game and the reference. Most numbers used are actually from that file with some adjustments as mentioned previously for easier reading as 'ticks' is not really understandable as it doesn't reference a standard measurement of time.

no offense, but the loading screen with the giant loading text is kinda freaky. i suggest making the loading bar smaller and centered on the screen and it says 'MyColony' not 'My Colony" which is weird. the text is also justified and you shold make it aligned to center, left, or right (criticism from me.) you do not have to do these things; its just that i would enjoy it more if you had these things done. even though i already like it!
I love to give feedback and suggest new things!

Hi.

First of all, thanks for the Reference guide, it's a lifesaver when playing this game.

Just a small feedback:
- on the Human Tech tree page, the link for the Forest World Base sends to https://www.my-colony.com/reference/ForestWorldBase instead of https://www.my-colony.com/reference/techs_h.html#ForestWorldBase.
- could you add some informations to the row titles? Just to add some meaning to "Stage x".
