nope just metal and plastics
ChoGGi  [author] 29 May @ 7:12pm 
Though I think it does show rares?
ChoGGi  [author] 29 May @ 7:12pm 
Not a bad idea :)

could it be updated to allow to show Exotics and Rare Minerals that your meteor mod drops?

v0.9
Added mod option to delay infobar popup.

Brilliant! I hate moving my mouse to every square to find out where I can pick up some resources.
ChoGGi  [author] 29 Mar, 2021 @ 2:32pm 
No worries, though I just did a quick update and added the count to the sector tooltip.

Fantastic! And perfect timing...I was just about to fire up the game to play a bit before dinner.

Thanks so much.

Added an indicator for them
KevinTMC 29 Mar, 2021 @ 9:20am 
Yes, there should be plenty on that map, mostly near RC Seekers who've just finished their job with those dredgers.
ChoGGi  [author] 29 Mar, 2021 @ 8:49am 
Not bugs, I just wanted a map with stuff scattered around.

I've uploaded the save here. (Its a save carried over from before Tito and I've got plenty of mods installed...things are behaving only slightly fruity though I think.)

Want to upload your save file somewhere?

I'm playing through the Dredgers mystery and have got to a point where there's a lot of small piles of resources (of most every type) scattered round the map.

Would it be possible to add some sort of indicator to the map view for this?

(I wouldn't need it to tell me precisely what's there. Adding just one icon for all, that simply means "there are resource cubes of some sort in this sector that are sitting on the ground, not in a depot", would be a big help.)

Something a bit similar was asked in an earlier post I see...if you looked into it then and it just didn't seem feasible, that'd be understandable.

Thanks as always for the many, many QoL improvements.

well they didn't!
Adil3tr 15 Aug, 2020 @ 2:58pm 
They shouldn't have killed the game. It's so much better than aftermath.
ChoGGi  [author] 15 Aug, 2020 @ 6:46am 
Mmm, what can I say? It's cathartic :)
Adil3tr 15 Aug, 2020 @ 3:12am 
Impressed you're still working on these.
ChoGGi  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 6:41am 
Well the water/etc aren't surface resources, so I might have been teasing a bit :)
but yeah I'll add them to the list as mod options (one of these days).

Part 1:
I apologize if I came across unappreciative of your work. I just left a quick note with a suggestion. It doesn't mean I don't like your work or don't appreciate it. I do. Thank you!

> So you don't like any of the other text styles in the mod options?
For some obscure reason I hadn't noticed that option before. Sorry! I set it to 4 and its perfect!

Part 2:

I think we misunderstand each other. The mod is showing polymer and metal, but for the water and concrete deposits we need to mouse over the icons. So when searching for a good spot with the right amount of resources in its vicinity, I can see metal on the maps' overview but not the amount of water and concrete available. I see the icons but not how much they contain. I find myself in need of making notes to remember how much of something is located where and what grade is was, to plan my expansion in a certain direction.

Personally I thought it would be handy to have a smaller resource icon with the amount of each resource available in a sector. Similar in size to the top status bar icons, for example. Maybe it's possible to shrink the icon along with the text size options? Text color could be indicative of the resource grade, perhaps?

Hope that clarifies. Thanks again!

So you don't like any of the other text styles in the mod options?

That's the entire point of this mod? To show the surface resources.
Inflatablemouse 24 Jan, 2020 @ 8:22am 
Well the current labels with numbers take about 25% of a map sector and it looks kind of clumsy the way it is. If it was the same size for the label and text as the status bar I think that would make it nicer and less obstructive?

For the regular surface resources, I know we can mouse over them, but I think it would be nice if it could show those as well to get an overview of the map, without having to mouse over them and remember which one was what.

For those who don't like that, maybe make each resource an option to turn on/off under mod settings?

Thanks!
ChoGGi  [author] 23 Jan, 2020 @ 5:01pm 
I thought some of them were pretty small, could you point to something else in the game with the size you'd like? (there's a couple different styles in the mod options)

> and add concrete, water as well, showing grade.
This is just the surface stuff that you normally have to mouseover for.
Inflatablemouse 23 Jan, 2020 @ 9:42am 
It would be nice to have smaller numbers and add concrete, water as well, showing grade.
ChoGGi  [author] 2 Oct, 2019 @ 2:21pm 
Hmm, maybe. I'll throw it on the list.
fasquardon 2 Oct, 2019 @ 12:37pm 
Would it be possible to add the other resources to this mod? (Or at least electronics.) I ask because when I have to scrap a wrecked rover, it would be a real help to see where the resources left over from that on the zoomed out map. Anyways. It is a great mod. Thanks for making it. ^_^

将表面资源(金属/聚合物)计数添加到地图概述中的每个扇区。

essell, Hopefully never. Choggi makes excellent mods. Makes a lot of sense a lot of the mods he makes in general, and makes playing the game so much easier in general.

Thanks for the work you do Choggi, forever a fan!

At what point do we need to stage an intervention for ChoGGi and his mod making habit?

So, Mr. Nobody requested it. I think Monty Python invented the Mr. Nobody character.
