• Registry Lifted & Snapshot Seeding
  The generator registry is now initialized earlier, allowing live power tracking with no start-up hitch.
  A seeded ON/OFF snapshot prevents false rebuilds when opening the Generator Info window.
  
  
• Localized Union Rebuilds
  When a generator streams in, only its local power footprint is recalculated.
  This replaces the old full-map union rebuild and completely removes load-in hitches.
  
  
• Stride-Gated Union Polling
  ON/OFF checks now run at a smart interval instead of every frame — maintaining instant responsiveness without wasted cycles.
  
  
• Coordinate-Based Edges
  All overlays are stored as immutable coordinates, so chunks can unload and reload seamlessly without visual gaps.
  
  
• No-Hitch Window Opening
  Cached union data is reused when reopening the Generator Info window; no more stutter on open even with many active generators.
  
  
• Early-Out Rendering
  Frames with no visible overlays are skipped entirely, and `getCore()` is cached per frame to minimize native calls.
  
  
• Refined Overlay Hierarchy
  Union overlay draws first (powder blue), per-generator ring draws on top using live ON/OFF color cues.
  
  
• Empirical Testing
  Verified smooth performance in Project Zomboid Build 42.12 (SP).

Updated all Translations for the new Buttons

Removed backup file

• Added a new Power Range Stencil system — now uses the engine’s true reach test (IsoGenerator.isPoweringSquare()) to pre-compute the exact powered area and outer ring.
  
• Introduced an ultra-smooth Union Overlay (all powered tiles) using cached stencils — no frame hitching, even on large bases.
  
• Edge outlines are now stored as immutable coordinates rather than IsoGridSquare objects — ensures perfect redraws even when map chunks unload and reload (no more missing ring segments).
  
• Removed the temporary “auto-refresh on LoadGridsquare” logic — no more stutter as tiles stream in.
  
• Generator ON/OFF and Connect/Disconnect actions are fully event-driven — overlay updates instantly when power states change.
  
• Maintains accurate coloring (good = powered, bad = off) and lightweight alpha blend consistent with the vanilla highlight system.
  
• Empirical testing verified in Build 42.12 SP.

• Added “THIS” button in Generator Info to toggle the focused generator’s ring.
  
• Union overlay now includes generators only when Activated & Connected.

• Union rebuilds only on real changes (add/remove, on/off, connect/disconnect).
  
• Smaller scan area by considering eligible generators only.
  
• Faster edge building via memoized power checks and a quick distance pre-check.
  
• Result: smoother overlay; almost a zero hitch even with multiple active generators.

• Event-driven generator list stays in sync.
  
• Hooks: ISPlugGenerator (connect/disconnect) and ISActivateGenerator (on/off).
  
• Removals handled via OnObjectAboutToBeRemoved.
  
• Activation snapshot catches auto-off (fuel/condition) and non-UI changes.

• Buttons hide automatically when the global overlay option is disabled.
  
• Union uses a warm cache when possible to minimize hitching on enable.

• Fixed rare crash from a shadowed
  next()
  .
• Corrected title-bar button positioning.
  
• Newly connected/activated generators are added immediately and trigger a single union refresh.

• Per-generator ring (ON or OFF): exact outer perimeter via engine reach test; green when ON, red when OFF.
  
• Union overlay (optional): powder-blue outline from nearby active generators only; cluster BFS (neighbors-of-neighbors) so overlaps aren’t cut off; culled where the selected gen already powers tiles.
  
• UI: compact title-bar All toggle (persists per-player) + ModOptions master switch: Enable Power Range Overlay.
  
• Performance: one-Z build + event-driven rebuilds (on toggle/target/state flip). No hitching.
  
• Fixes/Polish: robust color getters, safe title-bar anchoring, correct outer-edge rendering.
  
• Localization: All translations for additional entries updated.

• Added optional Fuel Gauge in Generator Info (default Off) — toggle in mod options.
  
• Gauge respects Required Electricity Level; hidden if the player doesn’t meet it.
  
• Clean horizontal in-window bar with smooth red → PZ-green gradient.
  
• Hover tooltip: unified localized string, white border, shows Fuel % and hours remaining (respects Convert to Real Time).
  
• Accurate percentage across UI: unified rounding and single source of truth for fuel%.
  
• Centralized logic in BGI_Helpers (fuel %, consumption L/h or %/h, hours remaining, level gating).
  
• Fixes: hover placeholder issues (extra %, %3), nil-percent crash, options ID consistency.
  
• Updated Localization files for All Languages

• Adopted and re-released as Better Generator Info.
  
• Fixed compatibility with Build 42.12 (vanilla generator now reports fuel use in litres per hour).
  
• Corrected calculation of remaining time — shows accurate days and hours left based on tank size and consumption.
  
• Added support for optional real-time conversion (displays remaining time in real-world hours based on sandbox day length).
  
• Preserved vanilla look and feel; seamlessly extends the existing Generator Info Window.

• Original mod created by Bananaut and Undefined.
