Ore/oil utility

Open ClaudeMetz opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Utility that allows users to select resources on the map to track. The mod will track output, and compare it to the consumption of the attached district, so the user knows if all they planned out will be fed properly with the selected resource fields.

Can also alert the user if the tapped resources don't produce enough anymore, if they want to know.

This can also have a static calculation portion, where you select a few prototypes and it tells you how many miners you need to satisfy the whole demand, or the currently missing demand, etc.

I'm not quite sure how difficult this tracking will be to implement. There are existing mods that do it, but hopefully I can do my own version without too much trouble, or performance impact.

The extension of this would be a way to automatically build miners on resources you select, but that seems like quite the hard task, for which other mods already exist. So maybe I could integrate with them, but yeah, low priority for sure.
