Add space platforms statistic info counters

Post by Shadow_Man »

TL;DR
Add "Planets visited" and "Kilometers flyed" counters for Space Platforms Hubs statistics
What?
Factorio is a game about production and statistics. Almost all entities have production counters to see how fast and how much they produce.
And our space platforms, which fly so much and work tirelessly, don't have those stats.
Add counters for planets visited and distance traveled to the hub stats in the info window.
Why?
More info to the Factorion! 8-)

Hmmm would logically suggest comparable stats for trains, stations visited and km travelled, could be interesting.
My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power.

There is a "trip completed" field for platforms, how would that differs with planet visited ? would it be a list of planet visited at least once ?

the km counter sounds fun, and i used a similar mod for trains which i found useful, not just fun, as it gives valuable information to evaluate traffic, could be interesting to compare platforms overtime, to answer question such as "is my smart platform based on Gleba is more active than the one in Aquilo ?" or when do i need a 2nd or 3rd platform.

Good points. “Trips completed” shows activity volume, but “planets visited” could track route variety, helpful for seeing if a platform serves multiple destinations or is dedicated.

Distance traveled would be great for spotting inefficiencies, like whether a hub should be relocated or a new one added. Similar train mods helped me balance traffic better.
