Corner LCD Information

Shows information about blocks on LCD (no scripting required)

I wanted to see more information from when looking at energy, production, etc blocks. I did not want to check lots of blocks using menu functions like "inventory", "control" or "production"...I want to see if a block needs attention nor if it is doing its job.

This mod brings two types of LCD

• "LCD info": Build LCD at a functional block, the block has to be directly behind the LCD
  
• "LCD remote": Build this LCD anywhere you like on the grid. Use the name of the LCD to identify function blocks that should be shown. If there is more than one block matching the name of the lcd when LCD will show each of then in a sequence. Any block (and any type) will be found starting with name of LCD, eg "AirVent Guestroom", "AirVent Cockpit", "AirVent Dining Room" will be found when LCD in named "AirVent" (not case sensitve)

Important: All blocks have to be on the same grid (ship or station), remote LCD will not scan any connected gids (I dont want to cause performance issues on servers).



...have a programmable block active
...mess around with parameters
...learn scripting


There will be two types of information, a general information and an individual information

A general information (red) is shown when the block is damaged or offline or (green) when online if this is the case, then no individual information is shown


individual information is different for each block depending on the nature of the block

• green: stored power above 60%
  
• yellow: stored power below 60%
  
• red: empty
  
• additional: If not empty the percentage of store power is shown

• red: input queue is empty
  
• yellow: material to burn, but above 90% of maximum power
  
• green: material to burn, below 90% of maximum power
