energy numbers??

Post by dragon327 »

when looking at energy number....the top number and bar should represent the total energy produced....the next bar and numbers should represent then actual usage....at least that's what i think would be a clearer way of seeing power ... if the lower bar represents 30% usage...i think the number should be displayed to reflect what the bar represents?? .

Alright, first of all: Windows key+Print to take a screenshot (it will be in your images folder)
Second: All you're suggesting is to have their order reversed. Or am I missing something?

images folder????....i took screen shot...made the edit in paint program and saved as PNG....whats wrong with that???
i dont think so....if we are producing 3.9MW of power and only using 1.2MW....why do both lines say 3.9MW.....the second number should reflect the bar with an accurate representation of usage?

only thing wrong is it's 1,920px × 2,148px, and @ 2,807.84 KB using way more bandwidth than needed. :shock:

Because you are allways producing only what you need. The production bar represent the % you are actually using on the max you can produce.
