Dynamic HUD

by aglaron

Hide all UI/HUD (minimap, research progress, quickbar, etc.) and then automatically show only relevant parts based on player's current in-game actions. Shows minimap when you are driving, shows weapons when you are fighting, shows shortcuts when you are rewiring your combinators, and some more. Helps keeping your OLED safe from burn-ins as a bonus.
