g [Fixed] Two bugs (fuel dropdown & ash output in pY)

2 months ago

Good day!

I have discovered two bugs in helmod recently.

1) the fuel dropdown list is now way too skinny and doesn't properly show fuels. I know the patch notes in a recent version said something about dropdowns and I fear it has made it worse.

2) There is a bug when a recipe outputs ash but is also done in a burner building, where the output of the burned result is ash. It should add those two results together but it completely is missing one of the ash outputs.

you can see in this picture it shows in the top right the ash output of 0.072, which is ONLY the burnt result.

You would expect it to add together the 0.8 + the 0.072 for a total of 0.872.

  1. I don't understand what you're saying here? Why not just make the dropdown box wide enough to actually show the fuel value? It used to show the icon + the fuel value. I feel like the new version is worse than the old version for this.

  2. because of the burnt result of fueling the building. the burner turns items into ash (the recipe) but is fueled by solid fuels, which can have a burnt result of ash. So two forms of ash coming out of the same process.

Thank you for working on this!

A couple notes:

1) The new window is EXTREMELY large if any of the fuel names are long https://i.imgur.com/eUJ6r5x.png and https://i.imgur.com/xmfzv7h.png . I would personally recommend making it a fixed width and cutting off the name of the fuel if it's past a certain number of characters. You could also combine the two modes, so it would show a tooltip if you hover over the ones with long names that are being cut off.

1b) Personally I just wanted to see the fuel values again, I don't need the entire fuel name. Even just the icon + fuel value, and it shows the name if you hover over, would be fine. It just feels weird to have a dropdown box that doesn't show the "5MJ" value, when it's only 3 characters long anyway. I feel like even your version with the "[icon]..." meant to be used with tooltips could just be "[icon] 5MJ..."

2) there is a bug with the window. Looking at this picture: https://i.imgur.com/eUJ6r5x.png you can see the bottom of the window is all jacked up (the border and such). Also the "active modules" sections from the top and the bottom don't line up (probably due to the extra width added from the long fuel names)

3) https://i.imgur.com/zEfYeN2.png I believe there shouldn't be a horziontal scroll bar on the bottom here. I'm not sure why this showed up (maybe adding the spoilage icons?). But it should just be having more ingredient icon rows for those blocks, rather than requiring you to scroll horziontally. Or maybe the problem is the outputs aren't wrapping? Not sure, but I think ideally there's no horizontal scroll bars on these production lines.

Thanks again for all your work. Helmod is still my favorite and I can't imagine not having it!
