My mouse's back button types R (for "reload"). :P

I've got a back button on my mouse so clicking that three times is actually faster than hitting map button on screen.

After the world map is upgraded, I will attempt to maintain a copy of the last-visited view in Butler's navigation tab (like I already do with email listings).  However there are too many IDs, on-the-fly bound event handlers and other rigid structures to support such with the current system.

Depending on how the next version of world map works, that sidebar tab may be fully functional without revisiting the real world map page.

Also, the original HarmlessButler had world map bookmarks and the ability to enter world map coordinates on the fly from any page, and the new Butler will be getting this ability as well.

I find that the lowest-burden option for sending out all caravans is to use two tabs (devs will probably frown upon this, as it doubles the polling on the server). After you 'harvest', the game presents the list of caravans, which is handy for knowing which you're already harvesting. On the other tab, switch to the map, and harvest again. Keep alternating tabs; the old tab will always be an up-to-date list of caravans.

When I want to send out a bunch of caravans for harvesting it goes like this: 

 - set up the map for max zoom
- find a resource
- click on it 
- click harvest resources
- send caravans
- hit back button 3 times to get back to the map

It's that last step that I think could be improved. I'd really really really like it if the sending of caravans was in a popup scroll like so many other things around the site. Just tell me in the scroll how many vans I have in total, give me a textbox that I can put a number into and a confirmation button. That way I don't need to do all of this redirect, redirect, type a number, confirm, hit back 3 times. It could be a lot smoother.
