I like the idea of this mod, and I think this looks like something I've been looking for, so I will give it a go!

Question about the performance cost: If I close the menu when not using it, are there still processing going on in the background?

+1

Just tried it out and it looks like it doesn't pause processing when the interface is closed. Would be great with an option for that!

Otherwise a very nice mod that I will be keeping!

It doesn't pause processing when you close the interface, in case you want to continue gathering info without having the window cluttering up things. I'll consider adding an option to do that though, it's a good idea!

Yeah definetely, because I may not want to have it running permanently, if I'm also optimizing for UPS in the endgame.

Thanks!

This setting is now available (and on by default) in the new v0.8.4, along with a few other improvements. Hope it works for you!

Thanks, I just tried out the new pause setting and it does help a bit. However, It seems like it's still tracking stuff as the activity meter is still showing it's scanning chunks. I think you need to have that section pause processing as well. Looking at the UPS it is rapidly going up and down constantly.

Thank you! Please check out 0.8.5 that I just uploaded, where I've made a bunch of performance-related improvements as well as really pausing all significant polling while the window is minimised.

Been using it for a couple days now, and it looks to be working nicely! UPS when not in use is low, and the option to enable or disable background processing is working perfectly so far. Thank you! :)

Great, thanks for getting back to me. If you think of ways it could be more useful, let me know :)

You might want to check out the latest version, which has dramatically lower performance impact. I no longer find it necessary to switch off data collection even for large bot networks - let me know what you find!

For me it's using about 0.5ms, which is pretty good! :)

Excellent, thank you! How many active bots is that? I have a few more optimisations in mind, but will probably add a bit of new stuff first.

Tough to say, about 1k active logistic bots maybe? Even with 20k construction bots taking down some filled chests it doesn't change, though I haven't tested something that spreads out over a large area yet.
