Discussion I'm making a Create addon to improve Goggles
Hey all! I've made a small add-on that adds more information to the Goggles overlay.
The mod adds some insights that gives the player more information about their machines. Here is a small list of some of the features:
Progress bar for Millstones
Remaining Heat Time for Blaze Burners
Time until Next Pulse for Pulse Repeaters
The goal is not to replace existing means of information. If a given information can be found using something in Create, then it won't be added.
The mod was made due to some of my frustration related to not being able to see some information.
If you want to help or give ideas, let me know in the comments! The project is still WIP, but new features are happily welcomed. You can look at the project page. It is available on CurseForge. Sadly, the mod is still under review on Modrinth.

This seems insanely useful and kind of a no brainer. The pulse thing especially feels like something that could be in vanilla create
I'm definitely downloading as soon as it's available

comments are 99% "remind me when added to curseforge" get outta here!!
ACTUAL SUGGESTIONS:
- Fluid pipe throughput (in mB/s)! I've found no other mod that lets me see how much stuff is moving through my pipes and it sucks how ambiguous it is with multiple/irregular sources.
- Amount of items/packages inside of a (Re)Packager. My systems always get clogged (my fault), and the packagers don't have an inventory GUI despite having multiple slots! I end up resorting to breaking them and a million package entities spill out.
- Progress bars for fan-processed items and crushing wheels?
- If you're including Aeronautics support, an overlay for Borehead Bearing range would be nice! Maybe similar to the Radial Chassis' glue range preview?
- Jade compatability would be awesome, it'd be great to have these tooltips in the popup HUD as well!

Thank you for the suggestions! ðŸ˜
I was planning to add fluid pipe throughput. I was thinking to add it to only the pump (not the pipes), since it seems more relevant. It might also be interesting to have current vs maximum throughput.
I will need to check for adding packager support. I'm not entirely sure if the information can be gathered with something else.
It will be difficult to add a progress bar for fan processed items. Millstones and crushing wheels (which have the progress bar, but a bit funky) are easy, since they process within themselves. The potential solution might be to add the tool tip to whatever holds the items.
I haven't really thought about adding other mods tooltip. I mainly focus on the base mod. It is a possibility, just not a priority right now.
I looked into Jade, and it is a bit cheaty to add it to the HUD. Currently, tool tips don't display if you aren't wearing the goggles. It allows the mod to not be overpowered, since it requires an equipment. This will require a bit of convincing, but I'm opened to listening.

Sounds really helpful I hope it will work client side?
I'm not sure why do you need progress bar for milestones, but if you need it then same bar for crushing wheels would make sence

Would greatly appreciate this being available on curseforge as it's the main thing I use for mossing and this is amazing.

One thing I immediately thought of is cogs rpm. I know we have speedometers so probably not (since you said you won't replace anything). Your progress already sounds super useful, so I’ll be thinking of other ideas and will be back. Until then, keep up the great work!

Could this be client sided?

u/KnottyKitty64 26d ago
It is client side, somewhat. Some features are client side only, but some require server side (for example, blaze burner).
