This is a pretty cool mod. I'm using 0.12.3 with it, and it's working well. I will say I've had a problem: when I'm loading a saved level, the detectors lock up and display a single value instead of a continuous measurement. I have to remove and replace to get them working again, which also means re-adding the signal wire they're connected to. I'm pretty sure it's a simple on-load statement to reset the detector when the level is started and the entities are already placed. Could you take care of that, please?

I game the updated version a try today, and it works! Thank you. This is just what I needed to track pollution counts. I combine it with the Nixie Tubes mod to get a continuous readout, and then when pollution is high in a chunk, I have smart inserters put clean filters in the air filter machines near my highest-polluting chunks. Saves time, energy, and the coal I'd otherwise spend recycling filters when I don't need to.
If I weren't using the air filters mod, I'd still want this, so I could do things like disable high energy-cost or high-pollution devices when their pollution reaches certain chunks I want to keep clean.

The 12.11 update broke the mod. I got it working by replacing game.on_event with script.on_event in the control.lua file.
This is my control.lua file from the pollution detector mod on my computer that i edited. it seems to work fine for me. If you replace the file that comes with the mod with this one the mod should work. http://www.mediafire.com/download/xlnsw ... ontrol.lua

Thanks for pointing that out. I've overlooked the last hint on this. Will have a look at the bug!

It says _ _ pollution-detector_ _/ control.lua6: attempt to index global "game" (a nil value)
when i try to load a game or start a new one
i have to delete bobs mod and c&p the modpack in again so it works again.
script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event)
ticks = ticks + 1
if ticks >= 60 then
ticks = 0
for i, pollution_detector in ipairs(pollution_detectors) do
setPollutionValue(pollution_detector)
end
end
end)
lua isn't really my thing, so there might be better ways to achieve that.

You are probably right.. Once per Tick isn't really needed. I'll update the mod right away. Thanks for pointing this out!
