Odd production time remaining text
Posted: Sat, 6. Jan 18, 21:31
So, this is mostly out of curiosity - but I've been perusing the code for the object detail menu, and found some strange logic for getting the production time left on a production module:
Where text {1001, 112} is "Ga", with a comment saying it's giga-years. So if a production module is producing, but the remaining time is zero, I suppose this means it produces indefinitely. But every vanillla cluster gets a different fixed "very long time" - is this a funny way of saying it'll stop when the local star dies?!
I'm sure most others have observed this in-game, but I haven't properly played in a while, so this is all unfamiliar to me.
Code: Select all
local remainingtime = "4.2 " .. ReadText(1001, 112)
if proddata.state == "producing" and proddata.remainingtime == 0 then
local clustermacro = GetComponentData(GetComponentData(menu.object, "clusterid"), "macro")
if clustermacro == "cluster_a_macro" then
-- Maelstrom
remainingtime = "0.9 " .. ReadText(1001, 112)
elseif clustermacro == "cluster_b_macro" then
-- Albion
remainingtime = "4.2 " .. ReadText(1001, 112)
elseif clustermacro == "cluster_c_macro" then
-- Omycron Lyrae
remainingtime = "3.7 " .. ReadText(1001, 112)
elseif clustermacro == "cluster_d_macro" then
-- DeVries
remainingtime = "11.4 " .. ReadText(1001, 112)
end
else
remainingtime = ConvertTimeString(proddata.remainingtime , "%h" .. ReadText(1001, 102) .. " %M" .. ReadText(1001, 103) .. " %S" .. ReadText(1001, 100))
endI'm sure most others have observed this in-game, but I haven't properly played in a while, so this is all unfamiliar to me.
