Feature Request: Set alert level for spare power

[Dalewn]

Hi,

I've recently added your mod and am really happy how it works. One thing could not figure out was ate what percentage/MW the panels would light up yellow to display a possible shortage.
Below is a screenshot of a small setup on which more than half the max power is available as reserve. Still the display is yellow.
Is the threshold in percentage or maybe hardcoded?
Can we maybe get a little controller to set this threshold to a certain percentage?

I just figurd out that you set the limit fixed to 100. I assume this is in MW.

Found in 'PowerCheckerModule.cpp':
float FPowerCheckerModule::spareLimit = 100;

I can try to make a pull request for a percentage based version. My cpp knowledge isn't that great though (I'm home at the Java world).
Therefore I don't think I will be able to make any button/slider of sorts...

There's no 'per machine' because the power is a complete grid. Usualy you have a single one or two or three major ones. But you can change that threshold by editing the file at (satisfactor)\config\PowerChecker.cfg, at the spareLimit parameter. Also there are no plans to make it work with a percentage of the total production

Ah, there might be a misunderstanding. I don't mean 'per machine' but 'per grid', of cause.

I think I see why you think percentage doesn't make sense. If you think in larger scales 10% can easily become more than 300MW. That doesn't help at all...

But if it could be configurable per grid, that would be really nice! Maybe you can take that up as a feature request?
