[0.17.12] Number of effect sources wrong in Assembler info panel

Post by atehxx »

Hi,
Assembler info panel incorrectly reports how many "Effect sources" it has.
This number goes +1 for every module in machine, and +1 for every Beacon - doesn't count how many modules are actually in a beacon.
It's either a bug or at least inconsistency I think.

Well, beacon just counts as 1. I find it to be ok, and more useful, as the only time when I look at this number is to actually compare the count of beacons.

Then maybe exclude modules in machine itself from this counter? Then the number will tell only how many beacons are affecting the machine.
Right now it's inconsistent... I have value 4 because of modules, plus 1 more because of beacon vicinity.

This is definitely very low priority thing either way, so maybe you get back to it some time in the future.

- Machine has 4 modules, and 2 beacons each containing 1 module => 6
- Machine has 1 module equipped, and 5 beacons each containing 2 modules => again 6...
It even invalidates your use case if machines have different count of modules equipped.
