Include placed modules in built buildings statistics

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Include placed modules in built buildings statistics

Post by ichVII »

TL;DR
I would like to see the modules I have placed/removed in the "buildings" section of the production statistics.

What ?
In your production statistics (default "p"), under buildings, you can see how many of each building you have build/deconstructed. I would like to see the modules I have placed/removed in here, too.
Why ?
Because modules are a mayor part of the setups you build in late game. They are more espensive then most of the other stuff you build in the late game and to me, this seems to be the right place to list these.

This isn't possible. The building statistics is strictly entities built/deconstructed. It can't store items in the same statistics object.

Is it possible to create a new statistics tab for placed modules?

Possible; yes, something we are likely to ever do; no. A new statistics instance is a huge memory, save size, save and load time increase so it has to be carefully considered if it's worth it when we add it.
