Monitor mining sites and track resources across planets/surfaces.

Main Features

  • Automatically scan the world for mining sites as you explore it (configurable).
  • Track sites (keep track of amounts, estimated depletion etc.) automatically once a miner is placed on them (configurable).
  • Add map tags for each site (configurable).
  • Keep track of sites and their remaining amounts, percentages and estimated depletion. Configure which sites are tracked through the resource monitor menu.
  • Overview of all scanned sites with filters and sorting.
  • Dashboard (top left corner) with sites, filtered and sorted.
  • Overview for each surface with available resources.
  • Compatible with modded resources (like Space Exploration).
  • Adjustable for high UPS performance (use mod settings and selective tracking).
  • Configurable and custom patterns for site naming.

Why this resource monitor?

I have used other popular monitoring tools, but found them lacking in two ways: They required manual interaction to create sites and they could not handle multiple surfaces in a way that made sense to me. This mod was created to be compatible with Space Exploration and with the Space Age expansion in mind.

How can I use this in an existing game?

Open the resource monitor menu, navigate to the Surfaces tab. For each surface:

  1. Scan it (may slow down the game, depending on surface size).
  2. Click the track miners button (this is required when you're using the recommended default mod settings).
  3. From now on, every site that you have miners on will be tracked.

If you used YARM before:

  1. With YARM mod active, go to the YARM tab in the Resource Monitor menu.
  2. Import sites from YARM (will import original amount, site name and age).
  3. Disable YARM mod setting "Enable map markers" and wait for YARM map markers to disappear.
  4. Disable YARM.

Multiplayer

There are still some unresolved UI issues in multiplayer. Playing with multiple forces is currently not supported and may cause crashes.

Compatible Modpacks

This mod automatically detects resources that are added by any mods. However, they may need some tweaking to show up as expected. Currently, the mod is tested to work as expected with these packs: Space Exploration, Krastorio 2, Nullius, IR3, Pyanodons, Bob's Ores, Angel's Refining/Infinite, Cargo Ships, Mining Drones, Scrap Resource, and many more.
