Display Signal Counts

Display Signal Counts is a UPS-efficient Factorio 2.0 mod that lets you insert live circuit network signal values directly into:

• Display panel messages
• Programmable speaker alert messages

It supports:

• Multiple placeholders per message
• Inline signal selection (including quality)
• Useful transforms (avg, rate, delta, min, max, abs)
• Rounding and formatting helpers
• Automatic or manual colour rendering
• Seamless integration with icons and text
• Full support for both color and colour spellings 😉

Counts are always sourced from the incoming circuit network. The panel’s displayed icon or conditional icon state does not affect the value shown. If no signal is specified, placeholders evaluate to 0 by design. Included global setting option for default count display: exact or condensed SI (k, M, G etc.)

Quick Start

1. Connect your display panel or programmable speaker to the circuit network.
2. Set a signal condition.
3. In a display message or alert message, enter a placeholder:

[ ]

---

Placeholders

Placeholder	Meaning
[ ]	Current value
[abs]	Absolute value
[avg]	Moving average
[delta]	Change since last update
[rate]	Change per second
[min]	Minimum over rolling window
[max]	Maximum over rolling window

---

Formatting Mode Overrides

Directive	Meaning
[exact]	Force exact number formatting
[si]	Force condensed SI formatting (k, M, G…)

---

Modifiers (stackable, only affects the following placeholder)

Modifier	Meaning
[prec N]	Set decimal places
[clamp A B]	Clamp into range
[floor]	Round down
[ceil]	Round up
[round]	Round to nearest whole
[sign]	Adds + / − / ± prefix
[pct]	Clamp 0–100 and append %

---

Manual inline signal selection (only affects the following placeholder)

Display a specific signal count other than the default first condition. (If no quality is defined, common is assumed):

[sig <type> <name> <quality>][ ]

---

Colouring Counts

Automatic colouring (green for positive counts, red for negative, yellow for zero):

[color][ ]

Apply colour deadzone to prevent automatic colour flickering with counts such as [delta] (treats values <0.01 as 0):

[dz 0.01][color][delta]

Manual colouring:

[color=orange][ ][/color]
[color=255,255,0][ ][/color]

UK spelling supported:

[colour][ ]
[colour=orange][ ][/colour]
[colour=255,255,0][ ][/colour]

Compatibility

• Requires Factorio 2.0+
