A live, zero-config dashboard that auto-discovers every train stop and visualizes the health of your rail network. No station IDs, no circuit signals, no combinators. Place or remove a stop and the dashboard updates itself.
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-07-10
Features:
- Zero-config auto-discovery of every train stop (build / mine / rename / clone / blueprint / revive).
- Live dashboard grouped by resource, refreshed once per second.
- Queue detection: none / present / 1 / 2 / 3+ waiting.
- Per-station controls: zoom to station, show assigned train, enable/disable.
- Sorting (most waiting, most idle, alphabetical, station count, disabled, resource name).
- Filtering (load only, unload only, hide healthy, only queues, only disabled) + resource search.
- Optional average wait-time tracking per station/group.
- Throughput graph: trains served per minute over the last 10 minutes, per resource group.
- Congestion heatmap: opt-in map overlay colouring each station cool-to-hot by average train wait.
- No-provider alerts: native Factorio alerts + dashboard badge when a resource has consumers but no available provider.
- Top-left button + Ctrl+T keybind. Matches vanilla UI including dark mode.
