Add actual power of energy interface to left panel.

Post by darkfrei »

What about this: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/darkfrei/RITEG

Here RTG is an energy interface with disabled GUI.
So, without GUI you can't to get the power of it.

It would be nice to have power production on left side of the game GUI.

I'm sorry abut I have no idea what you're asking for.

I think you meant to contact the mod author to ask him to add something?

Here is an easy electric network: one vanilla radar, one power pole and one RITEG (entity type: "electric-energy-interface").

The prototype of this electric-energy-interface has this parameter:

Code: Select all

enable_gui = false
So, when vanilla GUI is disabled, here is no way to check the power output of it.

The left vanilla panel of the radar:

It's possible to open this network and here is statistic of the network:

For example, here is left panel of the steam engine:
Maximum power output, performance and available performance are here.

It seems to me that actual power output and maximum power output should be added to the energy interface too.

As far as i can tell the .selected tooltip for EEIs uses data from the prototype definition and not from the actual live in-game data.

@Rseding:
How feasible would it be to make the tooltip reflect in-game data for the EEI? I.e. show the current buffer_size etc instead of the prototype values.
