Additional meters

Hi,
Nice, clean implementation of flow metering.
Only disadvantages I see are :

• Height of the meter, it prevents using measuring stacked transports
• Width ot the meter, it prevents using the measurement of parallel ransports
• The dsplay show a graphic when there is transport, but that is already visible on the belt/pipe itself.
• When you want to see the actual figures, need to open the UI for that specific meter

For making it perfect form me :-)

Create a 1 high, 1 width, 2 long version
If you want to limit the functionality of that, remove the regulation/notifications
Have that display the average throuput on the top/side(configuarable) of the entity

Nice to haves

Make the display showing the numbers optional.
If that is in, allow to temporary show the numbers in a user selectable area.

PS : I think your github does not include the latest version, are planning to supply the source code for that too ?

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! The current entity footprint and height are intentional design choices to accommodate the mechanics, internal visuals, and inspector UI.

I actually saw you were looking into notifications for your own mod recently. The Mafi notification system—especially wiring up custom prototypes, the message formatters, and serialization—can definitely be tricky to get working smoothly!

Due to a technical issue on my end, the repository was lagging behind the mod release, but I’ve just pushed the latest code to GitHub now. Feel free to take a look if you're curious about how the notifications and hooks were implemented.
