How to increase precision of displaying electricity consumption?

[Qeeet]

I am currently testing nuclear power plant blueprints and decided to build my own. In order to test properly I need to know exactly how much electricity is produced/consumed.
Now it shows 2.7 GW. Theoretical production is 2720 MW.
Yes there is a mod where you can place pink accumulator and adjust its consumption. But it is not reliable as changing its power consumption will demand more power as it states until is stabilized.
AFAIK there is currently no solution to this simple trivial problem of just showing a full value with 3 decimals after '.' such as 2.720 would be seen, or is it?

You can run this code while hovering over a power pole.

Code: Select all

/c
precision = defines.flow_precision_index.one_second
network = game.player.selected.electric_network_statistics
for name, _ in pairs(network.input_counts) do
  energy = network.get_flow_count{name = name, input = true, precision_index = precision}
  game.print("Input - " .. name .. ": " .. energy * 59.8 .. " W")
end
for name, _ in pairs(network.output_counts) do
  energy = network.get_flow_count{name = name, input = false, precision_index = precision}
  game.print("Output - " .. name .. ": " .. energy * 59.8 .. " W")
end

Thank you.

it does not work now . can u fix it ? or can i put code in a mod? thanks .

Change one_second to five_seconds

You have to hover over a power pole
