Today, I’m excited to introduce a brand-new tool we’re working on to help you debug your factories more easily: the Info Overlay.

Once released with the next update, you will be able to toggle the overlay at any time by pressing U, and it looks something like this:

With the overlay enabled, you can instantly see what a building is producing from any side — no more running around trying to reach the screen panel:

We’ve also added new pulsing status indicators, so you can quickly spot when something isn’t quite right. And if you want the details, the tooltip in the bottom-right will list the exact issues:

Whether a machine is power strained, has no recipe configured or a drone miner has run out of ore, you’ll now be able to tell from a distance without needing to inspect the screen panel.

On top of that, we’ve made interacting with buildings much more convenient: you can now open a building’s screen panel in full screen by pressing E from any side of the machine:

This means you can inspect and control your factory faster and more comfortably, even in dense builds.

Right now, the overlay supports some of the most common machines and warning/error states — and we’ll keep expanding it over time based on your feedback.

As always, we’d love to hear what you think.

Looking forward to your thoughts, Yog
