hello team, suggestion to change the default icons (harvest/forage actions)

It is not default icon, the icon of your action depends on configuration. It seems to me that the highest "rank" action (action with highest ID) icon is used. It applies to every action, not just forage ones.

And still i like the idea, i found this an issue when i first played. It would be very convenient if you could choose the icon yourself, like you do with the macro icons. Having 10 different actions with the same icons can be very confusing from time to time.

Hmm, maybe trainers could sell very high ID actions named "Icon" that one could buy to change the icon...

I am fortunate to not have that issue since I have 6 (yes, six) extract actions. However, I get them all mixed up and sometimes forget to edit one when I switch mats.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.

Yes why it isn't done like this, let us choose our icons :)

In addition, the background should be the colour of the place of extraction.
For example, a green background for the resin in the matis region, blue for the material in the tryker region, etc.

This has been a common request made by many folks new to game ... myself included back in the day when I was just doing HA in Desert with 4 orospect icons. But due to the "real estate issue", after 5 lands, it's not something I would care about today because leaving those icons just eats up to slots for 5 regions.

Today, I have ...

Pros - For Prospecting
SH Focus 5 - Gte all my focus back to start extract
One - 1st Extraction when 2 stepping
Two - 2nd extraction wen 2 stepping or 1st when kill digging

When I change mat, I edit the underlined ones for material ... it will be like that for 20 or so extractions at the minimu. If region chnages, again same 2 actions get edited.

So not saying point isn't valid...just noting the for most significance of it dimishes over time. That being said ... would have no objection to a series of checkboxes along the top of the window which let you select "default" behavior or give priority to any one of the various action icons.

First of all a great idea!

It would also be great, if the priority always falls on the material specialization during the automatic symbol selection, no matter which Stanza has the highest focus consumption.

You could do the same with melee actions. For example, to prioritize the priority to "sham attack" or "aim at head (etc)".

But you can't really please everyone. I would suggest to leave everything as it is, but implement a choice:
A) Automatic choice (conventional)
If it is not desired:
B) Optionally, you can choose the symbol yourself from the possibilities represented in the action.
Or C) Set your own priority, which symbol should be displayed automatically.

The coloring of the actions by eco-specific colors is a real relief by the last patch. So you don't have to right-click and "edit" the actions all the time. Well done!
