i Configurable timeframe for efficiency calculcation

2 months ago

Hello !

Looking at your mod (great idea btw), it seems that the efficiency is calculated for the entire lifetime of each building.

I wonder if it would be easy or not to add a parameter to compute only the last X seconds/minutes/hours of play.
A use case is: Perhaps I want to know if my factory production is nominal, but perhaps a previous bug made it non functional for a significant amount of time, screwing the data "forever", and I wish to know if my fix is working.
Also, because of having to juggle between planets, it is not uncommon to have planet "idling" for a significant amount of time, where you need only trace of their output, but perhaps in the future you will come back & significantly improve their efficiency, all the previous data for this planet is irrelevant.

I could deconstruct/reconstruct it to reset the timer, but it looks like a workaround. Or void the entire dataset, but it also look like a workaround.

Could you implement something like this or is it out of scope/ not wanted ?

It could be implemented but I'd say this feature already exists in BottleneckLite or Assembly Analyst: they both can provide feedback on current status & efficiency of your factory instead of the lifespan (I think Bottleneck Lite is just current status while Assembly Analyst is like the last 30s to 5m)

Didn't knew this one, thanks !
