So what is on this belt?!? (show contents in text please)

Post by Mendel »

Right now the game shows me what the contents of a piece of belt look like when I mouse over or click on a piece of belt. However, it does not tell in text form what the contents actually are.
This would be most useful when playing with mods that add over 9000 different resources and mid products. also for beginners I believe it would be good in base game too.

There seems to be a lot of room in the UI for the content information. I believe it would easily fit there in text form. See picture below for example:

I have clicked on a piece of transport belt. I would like the pop up window to show contents of the belt in question. I am also mousing over a different piece of belt. I would like the contents to be shown on the right in text form.


What I am doing right now to overcome this is that I sometimes deconstruct a belt just to get the text pop up about what resource I received by destroying that belt. Not really ideal.

That space is used when the belt tile is connected to the circuit network.
