[0.17.76] Info in Crafting Menu Tooltip for Fluid-powered Boiler does not include Efficiency Calculation

Post by Adamo »

When one mouses over the gas-fired boiler entity from my gas-boiler mod, or, I assume, any other fluid-powered boiler, the tooltip includes the correct efficiency and the efficiency-based total power usage of the entity. Same with the vanilla boiler, fuel-powered. In the crafting menu, the vanilla boiler tooltip still includes the efficiency calculation, but the gas-boiler tooltip does not.

Neither of these things would be evident in the vanilla game, but one can see them by using these small mods, and then comparing the gas-boiler and vanilla boiler tooltips:

Thanks!

Well, I might mention that the `energy_source` for the vanilla entity `boiler` is `type="burner"` and has `effectivity=1` in its definition, while the `gas-boiler` from the first linked mod uses `type="fluid"` and doesn't specify `effectivity`.

The efficiencies will be applied if you also use the adamo-physics mod I posted in the original message. They will both be set to 0.85.

I stand corrected, looking at the final-fixes from that mod.

The different energy source is likely still relevant, however; the tooltip might not be implemented for fluid consumers.

I suspect this is what is causing the bug, yes.

So, is there a bug or not? Can you attach some screenshots showing the problem?

There is a bug, yes, which is exactly as I've described. It will be easily seen if someone uses those two mods, or any other mod that has a fluid-powered entity with an effectivity setting, since that efficiency won't be shown in the crafting menu tooltip. I'll send a screenshot next time I can get into the game, but that won't be until next week. I wouldn't bring this up on trivial notions. It's there.

Cheers! Sorry I forgot to come back to give a screenshot. This report happened right before I moved about 1000 kilometers. :)
