Display number of harvestable plants, and provide to circuit values
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2026 7:51 pm
TL;DR
In Agricultural towers, show the count of harvestable plants (and possibly open spots, like "13/47"). Provide that number to the circuit network.What?
There is information about number of plants in the right panel. I did not specify if the larger number stands for the total spots, or plants that are still growing. That is not really important to me.That number can be read to the circuit network.

Why?
It allows finer control of agricultural towers. E.g. 1. you can now open your train station when you know you can fully harvest, to have them 2. harvested only when the train is there. Part 2 is already possible with controls, 1 not.Additionally, for the circuit network there might be a mode of operation (or read 4 signals instead of 1), like free spots / plants growing / plants harvestable / trees damaged. That way you could fully use trees to absorp pollution.
These changes are not necessary and can in fact be added through modding. However, the latest additions from 2.1.21 like Added "Read launched"
and Added "Read empty slots" already exceeded my expectations. 2.1 added really everything I hoped for, only this tiny bit missing.
