Is there a mod to output research progress to Wire Signal?

Post by Peter34 »

Say I want to set up a line of 20 or 33 Lamps, more and more gradually of them turning on as research progress proceeds towards completion of the current goal. I'd need a Wire Signal to feed res% to the Lamps so that I can set them to be on/off according to threshold values. If there isn't such a mod already, can someone please make it?

I know that the game UI already has a research progress bar. I just think it's look a thousand times cooler to have some kind if in-game-world Lamp-based indicator of research progress.

For that matter, something similar for Rocket Silo progression might be nice. But then again, some players might build 2 or 3 or more Silos in parallel, so there'd need to be one wire signal per Silo, and how is the mod going to "know" how many Silos are being built? But I maintainthat my res% wire signal suggestion is valid, because it has the potential to be used for cool in-world visuals (and it's simple enough to make use of that many players would actually use it).
