I've addes the option to show the item values in shortend string versions like factorio to avoid string clipping on small icon sizes. 10000 -> 10k and on mousover show the exaxt value with a 1000 . tunctation -> 10.125 for example.

https://paste.pics/OW9W2 - Shortend version with tooltip
https://paste.pics/OW9V8 - Settings
https://paste.pics/OW9YE - Without shortend string

Added This to the control.lua:

function short_number(number)
if number == nil then return 0

elseif number <= 999 then return number
elseif number <= 9999 then return string.format("%.1fk", math.floor(number / 100)/10)

elseif number >= 1e12 then return string.format("%.0ft", math.floor(number / 1e12))
elseif number >= 1e9 then return string.format("%.0fg", math.floor(number / 1e9))
elseif number >= 1e6 then return string.format("%.0fm", math.floor(number / 1e6))
elseif number >= 1e3 then return string.format("%.0fk", math.floor(number / 1e3))

end
end

function comma_value(n) -- credit http://richard.warburton.it
local left,num,right = string.match(n,'^([^%d]*%d)(%d*)(.-)$')
return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1.'):reverse())..right
end

and replaced this on the end of function update_gui(player) in control.lua

local count = frame.add{type="label", caption=data['amount']}
count.style.horizontal_align = 'center'

With:

local itemAmount = data['amount']

local count = frame.add{type="label"}
count.style.horizontal_align = 'center'

if player.mod_settings["QuantumResourceDistribution_raw_value"].value then
count.caption=itemAmount
else
count.caption=short_number(itemAmount)
count.tooltip=comma_value(itemAmount)
end

for the fluid:

local fluidAmount = math.floor(tonumber(data['amount']))

local count = frame.add{type="label"}
count.style.horizontal_align = 'center'

if player.mod_settings["QuantumResourceDistribution_raw_value"].value then
count.caption=fluidAmount
else
count.caption=short_number(fluidAmount)
count.tooltip=comma_value(fluidAmount)
end

and added to the settings.lua

data:extend({
{
type = "bool-setting",
name = "QuantumResourceDistribution_raw_value",
setting_type = "runtime-per-user",
default_value = true,
order = "3"
}
})

greetings

Hmm, not bad idea, i think i will add this when i have time, thanks.

function comma_value(n) -- credit http://richard.warburton.it
local left,num,right = string.match(n,'^(.-%d)(%d*)(.*)')
return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1.'):reverse())..right
end

this is another way to write the function. Had trouble to add the * in the forum.

18-02-24:
- Support for script-raised building events
- Support for big numbers in storage - they will be converted to short notation using "k" and "m" letters
- All items allowed to go to storage by default but you can restrict some groups / subgroups / individual id's
