Dashboard Cards

A copy-paste suite for the Control Room. Create each with + New Card, pick the size named in its header, paste, run. Three rules for every card: no sleep() needed (the interpreter repaints once per tick), always panel.clear() first, and cards have no self, so they read everything but command only through shared authorities (power_control, shop, comms, inventory, atmosphere). Full widget reference: Panel API. Edit the machine ids to match your base (the ⓘ on each machine card shows its id).

Terraforming Pulse (1×1)

Pillars, CO2 fuel, credits, live heat trend. (Atmosphere, Commander)

heat_hist = []

while True:

Fleet Board (1×1; use 1×2 past four vehicles)

One row per vehicle with battery traffic-lights and a rescue banner. (Fleet, Vehicle Charging Station)

fleet = get_component("fleet")
station = get_component("charging_station_1")

while True:
    panel.clear()
    panel.label(12, 22, "FLEET", "caption")

        b = v.battery_level
        color = "success" if b > 0.5 else ("warning" if b > 0.2 else "error")
        panel.progress_bar(330, y - 6, 115, 10, b, color)
        panel.draw_text(452, y, f"{round(b * 100)}%", 11, "text-muted")

Biology Board (1×1)

The automated trio’s active order, per-fragment done+in_transit/required, lifetime earnings. (Bio Exchange)

exchange = get_component("bio_exchange_1")

while True:
    panel.clear()
    panel.label(12, 22, "BIO ORDERS", "caption")
    panel.draw_text(320, 22, f"lifetime {round(exchange.lifetime_credits())} cr", 12, "text-muted")

Machine Room (1×2 tall, interactive)

Generator efficiency rows plus working breaker switches through Power Control (a shared authority, so this card changes real state). Switching a machine off pauses its script and preserves setpoints; switching on resumes it.

MACHINES = [
    ("o2gen_1", "Oxygen Gen"),
    ("heater_1", "Heater"),
    ("pressure_1", "Pressure Gen"),
]                                   # add every generator you own
power = get_component("power_control")

while True:
    panel.clear()
    panel.label(12, 22, "MACHINE ROOM", "caption")

    y = 56
    for mid, name in MACHINES:
        on = power.is_powered(mid)
        panel.status_dot(20, y, 5, "running" if on else "idle")
        panel.draw_text(36, y, name, 13)

        e = get_component(mid).efficiency() if on else 0
        panel.progress_bar(160, y - 6, 160, 10, e / 100, "success" if e >= 90 else "warning")
        panel.draw_text(326, y, f"{round(e)}%", 11, "text-muted")

        want = panel.switch("pw_" + mid, 400, y - 10, on, "")
        if want != on and power.can_power_off(mid):
            power.set_powered(mid, want)
        y += 44
