Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
There has been much discussion in the bug forum about accidental clicks or errors that cannot be undone.
It is likely much easier to implement extra confirmations rather than messing around with the "undo" code.
The game already has confirmations for seemingly bad things, such as buying zero project cards, or playing a card that increases a maxed out global parameter. Or any action that draws a card. Or selecting preludes and too many project card to pay the cost of one of the preludes.
So, here is my suggestion. Let's see if it gets enough upvotes:
Add confirmation for the following:
1) Rejecting greeneries at end-game.
2) Clicking "advance pass".
3) Placing a tile on The South pole or the central hex on Borealis while lacking sufficient funds to pay the cost.
4) Confirm discard for Mars University.
5) Confirm discard for Pluto colony bonus.
6) Confirm revealing a card with "Search for Life".

I think adding confirmation to these actions would be a great quality of life improvement for the game. While I am a lot less likely to knowingly make this mistake again, I think it would be beneficial for everyone if mis-clicks and similar errors in these situations (where the action is irreversible) were less punishing.
Here is a game were I discarded antigravity generator to Pluto. I had 7 science tags and thought I was playing the card... Slightly ruined my game. It also happened to the other players at least once.

Thank you for all your work on this game! <3
The confirmation button should say something like,
"WARNING. This may cause the game to crash resulting in a forfeit. Confirm action anyway."
Ideally, that will stop people from placing a tile that draws cards, which cannot be undone, and then needing to forfeit because the game cannot proceed if the player cannot pay the cost of placing the tile there.
You must confirm Pass for this GENERATION on your next turn, cannot be undone
I am not adding 2nd confirmation for advanced pass
For the remaining please open separate suggestion (if needed)
I just tried placing a tile on The South pole when I had 4 MC and there was one ocean on the map.
The existence of that one Ocean would mean I could play on the South pole, place the ocean next to the existing one, gain 2 MC, and then have the 6 MC needed.
But the interface blocked me from placing the tile on the South Pole.
