Storage Auto Pause

Storage Auto Pause adds configurable storage-based automation and visual status indicators to factories, production buildings, and mining or forestry control towers.

Buildings can automatically pause when selected storage levels reach their configured limits and resume when storage falls below a separate threshold. The player always retains manual control, and the automation will not repeatedly fight a manual pause or resume command.

Features

• Automatic pause and resume based on selected storage levels
• Separate PAUSE and RESUME thresholds with hysteresis
• Support for factories and mining or forestry control towers
• Multiple storage conditions with configurable AND/OR logic
• Manual player pause ownership is respected
• Selected storages and automation state are preserved in the save
• Optional three-level semaphore antenna
• Visual indication of:
  • logistics activity
  • electricity availability
  • worker availability
  • maintenance failures
  • automatic pause
  • manual player pause
• Animated logistics and diagnostic lights
• Breakdown warning flares with spatial sound
• Interface localization for all 20 Captain of Industry languages
• Language automatically follows the current in-game language

How to use

1. Open a supported factory or control tower.
2. Enable automatic control.
3. Add one or more storage facilities.
4. Configure the PAUSE and RESUME thresholds.
5. Select AND or OR when multiple storage conditions are used.
6. Optionally enable the semaphore antenna.

The automation evaluates the configured storage conditions while preserving manual player control.

Configuration

Additional visual and audio options are available in the mod configuration, including semaphore diagnostics, warning fireworks, and spatial sound.

Compatibility and saves

The automation configuration, selected storage facilities, thresholds, pause ownership, and runtime state are integrated with the save game.

Do not remove the mod from a save that actively uses its automation without first removing the configured automation from affected buildings.
