Monitoring Fluid Tanks and Machine Rotation in Real Time

Reading Fluid Tank Levels

Checking liquid reserves usually requires interacting with tanks or attaching gauges. With the visual tools active, you can read fluid volumes directly:

1. Approach any fluid tank in your factory.

2. Look directly at the tank structure. An on-screen indicator reveals the current fluid type and the remaining liquid volume without needing any interface clicks.

3. Check fluid containers such as lava buckets in your inventory or tooltips to verify exact volume measurements quickly.

Tracking Gear and Machine Rotation

Troubleshooting complex kinetic networks requires knowing rotation directions at a glance:

1. Look at your running gear trains, shafts, and connected machines.

2. Watch for the directional particles rendered on the components. These visual markers indicate precisely which way each gear or machine is rotating.

3. Follow the particle motion along interconnected shafts to identify where rotation reverses, helping you correct opposing gears or misaligned machinery before powering on high-stress systems.
