Long description
Long description
The mod decorates assembling machines, furnaces, mining drill, pump jacks, and chemical plants with an indicator light, making it easier to identify bottlenecks in your factory:
Hotkey to toggle lights: SHIFT + ALT + L
The mod configuration menu (Game menu -> mods) has the following options:
The mod decorates assembling machines, furnaces, mining drill, pump jacks, and chemical plants with an indicator light, making it easier to identify bottlenecks in your factory:
- Green: currently doing stuff
- Yellow: not currently doing anything, limited by the output
- Red: not currently doing anything, limited by the input
Hotkey to toggle lights: SHIFT + ALT + L
The mod configuration menu (Game menu -> mods) has the following options:
- Number of machines updated per game tick (Default is 40, i.e. 40 machines/tick * 60 ticks/second=2400 machines/second). This ensures that the mod uses the same amount of time per tick on a small factory as on a large one, but as the factory gets larger, the lights update less frequently. If your factory has 10000 machines, each light will only update roughly once every 4 seconds. Increasing the machines/tick value will improve this at the cost of CPU power.
- Change the style of each indicator light.

v0.10.5 2019.02.26:
- Version bump to 0.18
- Version bump to 0.17 (not using any of the new faster API... sorry)
- Korean localization (thanks to MasterBabol)
- Japanese localization (thanks to shelaf)
- Fixed bug introduced by 0.16 causing fluids not to be checked correctly (thanks to ochristi)
- German localization (thanks to ST-DDT)
- 0.16 compatibility fix (thanks to ochristi)
- Changed logic for state tracking, to avoid light flickering (some machines would show as yellow for a tick per cycle, even when working 100%)
- Fixed lights on uranium miners without mining fluid
- Initialize STYLE from settings
v0.8.3 2017.05.30:
- Fixed hotkey and interface issue
- Quick fix to remove spam messages
- Reintroduced the hotkey: SHIFT+ALT_L
- Fully configurable lights
- Bugfixes
- Bugfixes
- Cached options values (turns out fetching them all the time is quite slow)
- Updated sprite indices for 0.15.10
- Added options menu (Menu->Options->Mods->Map)
- Updated for Factorio 0.15
Bugfix
- Collision mask added, so you can again walk through the indicator lights
- Switching to high contrast mode was broken by 0.6.1, which is now working again
Bugfix
- Using car as base type had unintended consequences, so now using storage-tank instead.
Optimization by Nexela (Nicholas Dunn):
- Indicator lights are now based on rotating an entity instead of destroying and creating.
bugfix:
- Rolled back a rebuild optimization, which used too much ram.
Major cleanup by Nexela (Nicholas Dunn):
- Code Restructure for 0 error/warns in linter.
- Several speedups.
- Ton of bug fixes and robustness improvements (incl. fixing desync issues)
- Add Remote interface.
- Custom events for hotkeys.
changes:
- Changed data structure from list to table, to allow for the following:
- Removed entities now have their associated lights disappear instantly, instead at next update.
- Mod now scales to larger factories, since removing elements (either from mining or destruction) is now expected constant time instead of linear in the number of lights.
changes:
- Fixed unhelpful options menu text
changes:
- High contrast mode replaces the yellow signal with a blue signal. SHIFT-B to toggle
changes:
- bugfix: 0.4.0 introduced caching of whether a mining drill was depleted, which was mistakenly also set if the drill was out of power.
changes:
- bugfix: re-introduced minor version numbers on global data. The use of function pointers inside global cause the function to be saved as well. This needs to be updated when loading a newer version of the mod, which includes minor versions.
changes:
- optimization: only checking for fluid output as a last resort (speeds update up quite a bit)
- optimization: clean transition from "removing lights a few at a time" to "all lights are off, so no need to check"
changes:
- bugfix: assemblers with fluid output now handled more consistently with the rest
- bugfix: depletion of mines fixed (now explicitly searching for ore patches, since old method sometimes failed)
- change: toggling the indicators now requires admin privileges, and toggling lights will now happen at the same rate as updates, instead of all in one tick
changes:
- bugfix: compatibility issue with unDecorator resolved
changes:
- bugfix: added sanity checks, in case signal entities have been destroyed by other mods
changes:
- bugfix: new fantories would get a red light (but not update) if lights were turned off
changes:
- bugfix: version number was not updated, which caused the position cache to not be filled, causing a crash
- performance: no longer repeatedly checking status when lights are toggled off (thanks factorio user bsdfhsbzxcbz)
changes:
- caching of light position (slightly lower CPU load)
- confirmed working for 0.14, so updated info.json
Bugfixes:
- fixed crash which could occur when removing the last assembler
Bugfixes:
- fixed issue with entity being updated multiple times per tick, incorrectly giving drills the yellow status
Bugfixes and features by factorio user apriori:
- Places the signals at the bottom center of oddly sized entities
- Hotkey 'B' for hiding signals
Bugfixes:
- Correctly handling machines idling while trying to output a bonus item (thanks to randomflyingtaco)
New features:
- Mining drills and pump jacks now also have indicator lights
- Only updates 40 entities per tick, as suggested by github user zamp
- Much more consistent use of red/yellow/green across different entity types
v0.1.0 2016.07.16:
Major refactoring to handle save and load properly
v0.0.3 2016.06.14:
New features:
- Furnaces now also have indicator lights
New features:
- Slightly improved graphics (inspired by sporefreak)
- Red light stays on for 5 seconds, to improve visibility (as suggested by Miravlix)
- Machines places by robots now also get an indicator
- Old indicator lights are filtered out at load (this is a hack; the mapping should be stored in global)
- New entities are now only created when state changes.
v0.0.1 2016.06.11: Proof of concept.
this looks great
