Ever somebody else noticed that the amount of ore/coal being mined by all mining drills is not being charted in the production window?

I actually would like to see the amount of ores/coal currently being mined to be added to the production side of the production window.

Because I can't really tell if I'm mining enough resources altogether to keep up with the consumption (especially when using trains). And half the time the mining drills run out of resources and I don't even notice until the starvation reaches the factory. If it would be charted in the production window I wouldn't have to drive far off to the outposts all the time to see how much has depleted already, instead I could tell by noticing if the production/min is going down. And yeah I know there are mods for doing something like that, but I'm not really fond of using mods, especially if they break compatibillity once the main game is updated.

I've searched the forum and found no topic regarding this minor improvement... and obviously it's no bug either.

Well coals and ores are mined, not produced, so I don't think it belongs in the production screen.

Having said that, I do think it should be displayed somewhere.

Yeah well I know they are mined and not literally produced but I guess it's a minor discrepancy we could easily live with until the devs decide to rework the production/power statistics windows, if they ever chose to do so in the first place.

At least it would be shown somewhere in the meanwhile.

Hi,

Your suggestion makes sense to me, and I would like to add a link to another thread/suggestion that, in my opinion, fits well with this topic :

Oh... yes the fluids would make some sense too somehow.

So how about 3 different tabs in the production menu?

1) Classic production as it is now
2) All mined resources
3) All fluids

Or something like it. May overdo it for most casual players, but nonetheless one can never have enough statistics.
