During the current OCM I pretty much finished point 1. Libraries and menus. I think the current menus are at least good enough to have fairly smooth settling, what remains to do is to show production costs for the producers and the hammer, get some better graphics for the production menu, and decide on how to display the production queue (maybe a maximal length). Also there are some points where drag&drop must be implemented and maybe even shift+click for transferring all contents of one type at once (needs engine changes). We should gather some opinions on this, cause my view is only limited.

But all in all I think this point is not slowing down any further progress on settlement anymore.
