Alternative Alt Mode


Replaces the standard Alt-Mode by providing more information for more objects. This information is shown only for entities around the player cursor, so the graphics of other objects can be enjoyed without always having an information overlay on top of them.

Currently beta testing. Pictures to follow.


Completely overhauls alt-mode by providing more information for certain objects.
Only objects in a certain radius are shown, and only when an object is selected. This way it's possible to enjoy the graphics without information overlays everywhere.

Changes:
- Background of icons change based on the quality of the item/recipe/signal.
- Combinators show the operator they are using
- Containers (both item and fluid) show the amount of each item they contain, not just which items.
- Fluids also show temperature if they are not at the default temperature.

Additions:
- Accumulators show their charge
- Electric poles show the power usage of their electric network
- Radars show the signals they are receiving/transmitting
- Most objects with some kind of (item/fluid) inventory now shows their content. Including but not limited to roboports, reactors, generators, vehicles, agricultural towers, thrusters.
- Heat pipes show their temperature
