Monitor Generator Progress and Troubleshoot Low Production

Reading the Action Bar HUD

When you look directly at a placed generator block, an action bar appears showing real-time information about its status.

What the HUD displays:

• Block glyph and generator name
• Current item count in the storage buffer
• Production progress as a percentage

This helps you decide when to collect items or check if something is wrong.

Why Production Might Seem Slow

Generators work on real-world time, not game ticks. Production happens continuously whether you're logged in or offline, but the rate is intentionally gradual to prevent resource inflation. If a generator appears stuck at 0%, verify it's properly placed and hasn't encountered a mod conflict.

Remember that production continues even when you close the game—log back in after several real-world hours to see accumulated results.
