Vehicle fuel gauge

Post by XaLpHa89 »

I use vehicles a lot and I'm always annoyed when I forget to fill up with fuel. Could you please include a fuel gauge? Look at the wood in the screenshot.

I think this is not related to the suggestion. Fill4me inserts fuel when you first place the car, but does nothing if you run out while driving.

The Aircraft Realism mod adds a fuel gauge HUD when flying planes, for an example more similar to what is being suggested. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AircraftRealism

I play without mods. What you can see in the screenshot is a custom vanilla scenario.

I agree with this too.

Vehicles with a grid have an energy bar, in the same way there could be added a red bar with a number over it which represents the current fuel energy plus the remaining fuel items left in the "tank".
