Show power use under info stats

[dosemeter]

Just a little tweak to flesh out the basics...I thought it might be nice to see the power consumption/production of electrical items before you build them. The info could be in the same place you find Flammability, Max hit points, Work to make....etc.
For items that vary in power consumption/production, maybe show the minimum to maximum.
(i.e.  Wind Turbine  0W-3000W)

I fully endorse this easy addition

Good idea

Love the idea, especially if it were to be robust enough to show info from multiple power grids.

Huh ? This has nothing to do with your power grid.
The question is to check the information before building the item. When you select the building in the architect table and then press I for detailed info ..

Doh, was thinking OP was talking about an "overall colony power use" in information tab along the main bar of game. Kind of started reading and my mind drifted to the other idea

See what you are talking about now, and love that idea as well, it really, really, should be in the game.

Great idea

++GOOD And not really that hard to do if a modder is already tweaking the production definitions.

For sure, but I think the main point is this suggestion should be in vanilla.

Yup, and if its in Vanilla it would be displayd automaticly.
What the modders could to to further it, is improve their object descriptions.

Given all the other stats displayed for some items, I have no idea why something this obvious isn't already in the game
