Blocks descriptions should show technical information (block selection and terminal window).

it is not like you first go buy an electric oven, get home, plug it on the wall socket and see it burn the cables. We first look at the technical aspects of it.

Especially for a technical game such as this. The game requires you to calculate power, mass, newtons, but the game also doesn't give you the basic values for it before you start building it.


In the block selection menu, where we have the block description at the right, all blocks should display their min power, max power, weight, and those that exerce force should also display it, like thrusters or wheels.

So, I know how much that block weighs, how much power it consumes before even placing it.

Doesn't matter if it is a modded block or vanilla block, power, mas, force values are all defined on the block xml and should be visible in both block selection and terminal windows at all times.

Have you tried Digi's Build Info (a mod)?


It goes a long way in providing this info, along with other amenities. And I think it should absolutely be in the base game.
