[Request] Exact power display

Post by djw801 »

I am trying to develop and tweak my own Nuclear power blueprints and now that I am producing 1+GW I can't see the 1-99 MW numbers. I would love a mod that changes or allows me to set the significant digits of the Electric Network info window. I think having the ability to set the number of digits to display on the info windows would be a really good thing, but I'll be happy with just the Electric Network window. :)

None of the native displays of the game can be modified by mods :/.

You could still use an accumulator-type entity (or eei) to measure the exact output of your reactor but that would be a somewhat hacky solution and not suitable for a universally applicable mod.

It can be some of constant combinators, that has current power production (compare two ticks and write the signal), than with dividing you can get every single digit of power supply.

UPD:
Useful Combinators
Power Combinator; Outputs Power Network usage when placed next to a power pole or substation.
