Circuit Alerter:

The circuit alerter is an alerter for the circuit network. Place a circuit alerter on the map and open up the GUI (default LMB) to customize the message. Anytime the condition is true it will broadcast an alert to the location of your choice with your message as well as putting the alert on your hud. The alert is fully customizable and supports a set of custom variables that can be included in the message. Unlocks after researching "circuit network".

This mod is a work in progress so expect occasional updates as new new features, requests, and bug fixes get added in.

Alert Types:

All alerts will show up in the expandable list at the top depending on who we are displaying to but we can also specify other locations
Pop-up: Pops up on the center of the screen
Goal: pops up in the top left as a player goal -- Not implemented yet
Flying Text: Pops a flying message over the heads of anyone targeted (anyone close enough to that person can also see this message)
Console: Prints to the console.
Map Marker: Make a marker on the world map.
Sound: Play a sound on this alert. -- Not implemented yet

Color Picker Support:

Easily select the color of your alert by adding the Color Picker mod by Mooncat, Currently this is the only way to change colors because I forgot to add it in an alternative way:)

Circuit Poles:

Circuit Poles are electric poles with no supply area, and default to connecting red circuit wires.

Any time an electric pole or circuit pole is held in the hand a small gui pops up allowing you to change which wires are connected. This is not implemented yet.

Unlocks after researching "circuit network".

TODO:

Unique graphics for the small and medium circuit poles. [Help Wanted]
