Combine power generating in each power solution-

I have a question. I’m not sure if this is currently possible. I’ve tried to get it working myself but haven’t succeeded, so perhaps there is no support for this in any module yet.

I would like to create a list showing what each “power creating solution is creatin in power. would also be very useful if I could retrieve the maximum output each generator can produce.

For example:
Connect all “power generators” to a model that compiles how many kWh are currently being generated, as well as the percentage of the maximum capacity currently being used.

I want this for each solution that I have in the map that is creating power.

Sounds to me like STOCK on a generator should be a working solution for this. It will have the current production, max production (capacity) and current utilisation (fullness in percentage). There is no electricity "product", so it might as well provide production priority for the last pin rather than leaving it unused.

I'm not sure my reading is the original intend, but I kind of like the options provided with using STOCK. If somebody needs a global reading of all generators of a certain type, use a STOCK module on each and add up. I would likely not want a module, which loops all generators as it sounds bad for performance.

New idea about using STOCK on a generator. The input can be used to set priority. If it's 0 (aka not connected) nothing happens, but if it is 1 or higher, then it will assign a priority. Being able to change priority based on storage of each fuel type sounds like something, which could be useful.
