If there is an error in the settings, build order and even (external) update files the app will crash without explanation. It would be great to point to the error (line number + description) before quitting, or continuing when we can recover (e.g. a faulty build order) or reset (settings).

I know it is possible to add some sort of automatic advancement. (i.e. when there are 3 villagers are on wood highlight the Boar lure task.)

This does require hooking into the game. For single player I guess this would be okay, but I don't think it would be easy to disable it for multiplayer where this becomes more problematic and could (should?) lead to bans.

Question remains if this is a good idea.

Would it be possible to get an update to this amazing tool?

With adding translations, adding an option to change the language would be great.

They work for me, but I'm just a pleb. So feel free to comment and suggest updates and add/link missing ones.

After finishing the build orders it would be great to hide the app until the game is over.

Either:

1. Make the window invisible, in addition to Click Through.
2. Toggle the AlwaysOnTop setting, by adding a hotkey to the menu item.

A quick fork or and a more permanent solution would be advised.

Make sure alternative keyboards like AZERTY and QWERTY are supported. (Mainly the special symbols could become a problem.)

Someone from the German community has offered to translate Border. To accommodate this I will put all strings on this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rgjE7nOfzjX7ZGGbCD53FlL0DGY3VRjCNS5kx9eQudk/edit#gid=0

And people can add translations to it.

I will also allow pull requests, specifically to this file: https://github.com/abductedPlatypus/Border/blob/master/Border/Properties/Strings.resx
But add add a language suffix to it like Strings.de-DE.resx. (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/commerce-server/ee825488(v=cs.20))

Since Border is in active development I will add strings at times. When that happens I will post a reminder here. I expect to revamp most build orders this weekend, with less text and more images. So I omitted those for now.

If you still want to translate build orders, they can be found here:
https://github.com/abductedPlatypus/Border/blob/master/Border/BuildOrders/builds.json

Also if you find mistakes in English, feel free to fix those as well.

In addition to translations, I will need someone to check if the hotkeys are still valid in German. I will add an extra layer that will attempt to automatically fix this, but I don't have a proper means of testing if it works.

I'd suggest either implementing custom "buttons" by capturing the mouse position at all times and implement the same relevant interfaces or quickly switching back to the game after losing focus due to the button click,

If I keep adding situational Build Orders (e.g. Forest Nothing) It would be great to be able to disable build orders from showing up and being part of the quick cycle.

Adding variants, so it is possible to update the build order after finishing the initial steps. (e.g. after a Drush go either FC, archers, M@A, etc.)
