I find myself wanting to know if assemblers are active. This is a simple visual indicator of the same.
I am happy to accept a pull request for a better image. Please send one if you can make it!

I love this mod. But have one small issue.
IF you put Modules in it (ie Assembler 3 with 4 modules) it covers the indicator light.
Can the location of the light be tweaked to be a little lower so its not covered by the Modules when they are inserted?

Ok, with 4 modules only about 40-50% of the indicator light is covered. (making it harder to see)
BUT if you only put 3 Modules in it, it covers about 75% of the indicator light.
AND, if its 3 green Efficiency 3 modules, because of the similar color, I cant tell if its running unless I zoom way in to spot the edge of the indicator below the module.
My question remains, Can the indicator light be moved slightly so its not being covered by modules when they are inserted in the Assembly machines.

It could definitely be moved . . . but I'm a bit lazy to do it. If you want to take a crack at it, you can see how the lights are made on the factory sprites. Send me updated images and I'll put them in.

Oh, I was hoping the position could be adjust by tweaking some value in the lua file.
I did not realize the sprites would need to be rebuilt to adjust the location.
Oh will. Thanks for the info.

Ok, it did not make sense to me that you needed to change the sprites to adjust the position. and when I looked at the indicator light sprite, it did not look like you could move it.
So I started playing around with the values in the lua, trying to figure out what did what and restarting the game after every change. and found that it looks like
(FIRST = Origional Location, SECOND = New Location, Third = New Location with Modules installed)

Sorry, I had totally forgotten that's how I did it. Since it's so easy to fix, I did so. I tagged release 0.0.2. I've tested it briefly on my own factorio and it seems to work fine. Please check the updated link. (Thanks for the contribution!)

Great mod, being able to see when assemblers are actually active makes some thing so much easier to diagnose
Fascinating. I'm not sure that's a good fit for this mod but it sure is nifty. Thanks for sharing.

If it is going to have a small light glow (and probably a smaller radius and not as bright... perhaps use a directional light like the head-/flash-light), perhaps make it more green to match the color of the assembler light.

Obstinate, I made a pull request for you on the Github that nearly halves the number of lines of code needed to make the mod work and would enable supporting other mods much more easily if you'd like.

Does this mod add an accu to the assemblers?
It would be ok, but just curious because i have 5MJ accu capacity without accus

Nope, this mod only adds an animation to the front of assemblers. No accumulators.
