Critter sensor need to be improve

[SamLogan]

Hello,

The new critter sensor is a good add but need to be improve :

1. It's hard to understand how it works

When I see that, I don't understand if it will go "ON" if the number is egal, above and/or below.

Suggestion 1 : add a above/below button.

Suggestion 2 : display how many critters/eggs are in the room. Like the thermo/atmo sensor do.

 

2. Add a choice between critters and eggs

Like Space Scanner, could you add a choice between critters and eggs.

 

3. Effect area is not clear

I think the effect area is not clear. Maybe you could add the area display effect of the auto-sweeper.

All good suggestions, but what's more important than those is that if an incubator is disabled by automation then dups or auto sweepers shouldn't even put eggs in in, right now when they are disabled it just turns the power off and dups will still put eggs in putting you over the critter limit for the room and basically shutting down the whole room.

TygerTaco, it's an other problem, no?

 

For critter sensor, i think it could be better if we can choose what the sensor count: eggs/baby/adult and how many.

 

Maybe, a critter age sensor to detect if critter is pretty old and need some egg/baby import ?

I agree that the current critter sensor is too limited in what it can do. It's still somewhat useful, but it can definitely be improved. The suggestions above seems like a good start. +1 from me.
