Safe Wait
« on: February 04, 2018, 05:10:47 PM »

Mouse wheel rolling with Alt held: Time forwarding only happens if no hostiles in view.

Benefit: Player can rapidly pass turns while waiting to power up or regen something and not have to worry about accidentally wasting action opportunities if/when a hostile shows up.

This is already a feature, no extra key presses/holding necessary. You can hold/repeat wait and there is an automatic block if a hostile comes into view, so that it's safe to do so. Note that depending on the enemy's speed you may still get attacked once (first) when they come into view, because waiting takes a full turn.

Hehe yeah it got added a while back but something like this isn't so easy to tell on your own :P. I'll add it to the manual for the next release under the new "Key Holding" section I just put in for Beta 5, listing all the situations under which you can hold keys safely.
