SenX, my guess would be that all clients see the text on the LCD. The magic that changes the text works on client machine, not server.

How is this client side only when the lcd content is synced to all clients in sync range?

@naustromo, you need to go to "content" and select "apps", then select "ES Info LCD" from the list, then go to custom data and you'll see the text.

cool mod. are you able to add the ability for users to type a custom item/component name into the custom data to be checked?
for example if I were to add TitaniumIngots=true, then it would count the titanium ingots from another mod.

If other mods aren't possible, even the vanilla items would be great.

Watching that screen flash, it's not a transient line at all - the order of the lines is what's randomizing (possibly because you add lines in the order you first find things while traversing the grid?). It would be really good to have a stable sort, like alphabetizing them.

When you get the damaged blocks display in, having it go into connected grids would be really handy so ships could dock at the home base and have their damaged blocks show up as a to-do list for repairs.

This is a great idea!

Please consider adding a configuration for minimum delay between redraws. For some reason with my sorter setup the ingots/gravel line appears and disappears frequently causing everything else to move around.

Alternatively and better, an option to always include all the lines for each type of ore, ingot, and component. Not only would that not flash, it would remind me when I run out of something.

I really want to use this mod. I have it installed. however, when I place an LCD screen and go to scripts, your ES Info LCD is not available as an option. Am I missing something?

Is it possible to display solar systems that sit on a rotor? Because currently this does not work or it is due to the new colorable solar modules

Thank you for this great mod. A separate ammo display would make it even better.
billhacone Nov 18, 2023 @ 3:59pm 
Ammo and Turrets on info would be cool to add . May be some info on what weapons have ammo
Godimas Mar 20, 2023 @ 5:31am 
Awesome, thanks so much!
diK  [author] Mar 19, 2023 @ 6:39am 
a link to the original mod is enough :steamthumbsup:
Godimas Mar 17, 2023 @ 9:13pm 
Hey dude
Hope you dont mind, but I modded your mod to work with Lifetech Powers Deuterium has and reactors for my groups server. Credited you, and linked back here in the description. Let me know if its an issue, and ill make the mod private.

Is there a possibility for you to have it show a single kind of item like only showing just iron ore/ingots?

The setup we are doing is a dedicated refinery for each type of ore and want that ore/ingot for each resource.
Boldtaar Nov 18, 2022 @ 2:11pm 
@diK Can you add a command to address a specific LCD on a block with multiple LCDs?
I want to use the script it in a cockpit and display Ore on one screen, Ingot on a 2nd screen, and batteries on a 3ed screen
Anitram Nov 16, 2022 @ 9:20am 
It would be perfect if the tanks were compatible with the industrial ovehaul mod. There are 2 gases plus Rocket Fuel and Deuterium.

congratulations for the mod
Boldtaar Nov 14, 2022 @ 1:46pm 
is there a way to only filter out ammo item?
PulsarSan Aug 26, 2022 @ 5:26pm 
First script I use, very useful !
I play in singleplayer and I confirm : no problem ^^
Siv Aug 11, 2022 @ 8:17pm 
Hey this is really good! Using on my server. Definitely fewer PBs!
Daniel. Aug 10, 2022 @ 6:54am 
hury up wiwth the damaged bloks man, a whole server needs it
Sir Connery Jul 11, 2022 @ 2:45pm 
This is an amazing mod. Since it runs on client side server won't be slown down by it.

I hope you keep extending this. It should be in the dev community highlight updates to be fair.
xterrylorakhx Jul 7, 2022 @ 12:29pm 
Just curious if it would be possible to make this put a space between two different sections? Currently I'm using a wide LCD on it's side with a list on it but when I display Ore and Ingots the two run together. If not possible to do this default, perhaps a setting like "Null=True" that puts in a blank field one line wide? Thanks for your work!
R_FLACKO Jun 27, 2022 @ 8:16am 
This is genius
SamWhite Apr 25, 2022 @ 10:06pm 
Just installed this works great
diK  [author] Mar 10, 2022 @ 7:31am 
the mod can also be used in singleplayer without any problems. it was only made to offer similar possibilities on servers even without PB
kaatrav Feb 26, 2022 @ 1:03am 
===>>>
2) Can it be used with the original "Tired Tech" mod? Or is it still a completely separate mod (there is no direct dependence on this mod on the page, but I decided to clarify)? If they can be used together, then this mod should overwrite the original one, right?
Once again, I apologize for asking off-topic, but the comments are disabled there (at least I don't see a form for them). I really hope for your answer!!!
kaatrav Feb 26, 2022 @ 1:01am 
Thanks for the great idea... With this mod, I will be able to get the necessary information without having to install extra PB. Which is especially important on small ships, but with the possibility of being inside it (i.e. a ship without a cockpit).
I apologize for writing here, but I have a question about SE.de Tech System (comments are disabled there):
1) Is it possible to use this mod in a single game, and not on the server (as I understand the mod is made for the server?). If it is only for the server, then maybe you will make a "public" version, for those who only play singleplayer... Personally, I prefer to install several mods based on MES, etc. systems to animate planets and space, but not to play with real players...

Thanks, awesome Mod! :D

Is there a way to display contetnts of subgrids ?
And to display all Components or ores even if they are empty ?
Boldtaar Feb 9, 2022 @ 4:01am 
any way to just list ammo in cargo on the lcd?
Typhon Plume Dec 21, 2021 @ 4:59pm 
I am wondering if the issue I noted was ever addressed. Where if part of the grind accidently brakes and separates it it stops updating when the grid is restored.
AlienXtream Dec 21, 2021 @ 11:17am 
cool. was just wondering :)
diK  [author] Dec 21, 2021 @ 1:44am 
the script uses the DisplayName text. It shows the same information as when you have the components in the inventory. but best you just test it with modded things
AlienXtream Dec 20, 2021 @ 5:43pm 
@jagodragon i was meaning modded components
jagodragon Dec 20, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
Thank you!
jagodragon Dec 20, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
@diK Awesome!! This will make this way more usable! I can't wait to try it out in an hour or two!
diK  [author] Dec 20, 2021 @ 8:11am 
UPDATE
it is now possible to adjust the font size.
for this purpose a new parameter has been added under CustomData.
TextSize=1.0 is the default
or delete the content of the CustomData completely, then the config will be created again
jagodragon Dec 20, 2021 @ 6:53am 
@AlienXtream Your question is literally answered in the screen shots. lol

but seriously, I can confirm that the text is good. The lists are great, but the layout leaves something to be desired. The text ran off the screen and you couldn't read half the list. (This may be a bug on my end but i just assumed it was due to the fact that this was a proof of concept mod)

also, I should add that i haven't used this in about 1 1/2 weeks...

I sincerely hope that @diK continues the development and gets this polished more. Because I love the mod concept and just feel it needs the ability for text to scroll and to resize the text.
AlienXtream Dec 20, 2021 @ 2:36am 
cool. does it get the name string or the unlocalised raw name? (e.g "Iron Ingot" vs something like "resource/processed/iron". only using iron as an example. i figure it would be localised correctly by default)
diK  [author] Dec 20, 2021 @ 1:18am 
yes they are also shown on the display
AlienXtream Dec 19, 2021 @ 2:36pm 
out of curiosity, does this also detect modded ores/components?
jagodragon Dec 8, 2021 @ 10:56pm 
It would be awesome if the text could scroll or the size adjusted! Great work! I love how easy and fast it is!
Marshall Nov 19, 2021 @ 11:26am 
I like it no PB script less lag. Thanks keep up the good work.
Typhon Plume Nov 18, 2021 @ 2:32pm 
I been having LCD update issues. I noticed in one play where I had to replace the walk way to the battery room due to metor damage the LCD didn't update saying the batteries where all at 0, when I knew they where over 75% charge.
Gemini Sierra Nov 7, 2021 @ 6:24am 
how do I adjust the font size? I don't want to have to put up giant lcd's.
YummyGummy Nov 1, 2021 @ 7:06am 
I found a server that uses this mod and love that you can get an overview over your base inventory without having to use a programmable block. Usually PBs are limited to like 2-4 per person on servers, so it is really valuable not having to use that one PB for base management. Also, this reduces server load a lot since it runs client side.
What I miss a lot with this is some more formatting options for the LCDs so you can find what you are looking for at a glance.

Recommendations for improvement:
- I miss having progress bars with a customizable max value like Isy's Inventory Manager does. With the progress bars you can tell at a glance what resouces you are low on.
- Add some simple formatting options for the output that can be configured by the player: bold headlines, progress bars, free line or (other separators like "#########") between blocks of information
MiteeGrimm Oct 19, 2021 @ 4:31am 
could you add a way for the information to slowly scroll the text, or a way to adjust the font size? other than that, awesome work, I'm loving it
Warbeast Oct 17, 2021 @ 9:49am 
could you make this work with the deuterium gas and their generators of life tech powers mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2558149005
diK  [author] Oct 16, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
Yes only client side
Sir Connery Oct 16, 2021 @ 1:48pm 
Runs client side? Nice. Didn't even think it was possible.
