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:
- Scan it (may slow down the game, depending on surface size).
- If you have track new sites disabled (mod settings), then click the track miners button.
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.
