Improve control panel HUD information

Open 56independent opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The current HUD is rather limited in information transfer. It only communicates:

  • Current errors if any
  • "Heat remaining"
  • Cycles left

I propose that we add this information as well:

  • Amount of builder modules using a specific item divided by quantity of the item inside the inventory (giving amount of cycles left until we run out of the item)
  • Amount of cycles remaining with current fuel
  • Amount of digger heads touching a non-air node and amount of digger heads (with possible division for finding what percentage are extracting materials)
  • Amount of traction

This information would be extremely helpful whilst mining. If one encounters a massive cave, they can see how the digger heads encounter more and more air. One can know when to refuel or refil items allowing a more streamlined experience, allowing a digtron to mine whilst new materials are being made.
