Description

The game supports setting keyboard shortcuts for these system power actions:

  • Set system power to 0%
  • Set system power to 30%
  • Set system power to 50%
  • Set system power to 100%
  • Set system power to 150%
  • Set system power to 200%
  • Set system power to 250%
  • Set system power to 300%
  • Increase system power
  • Decrease system power

But only these system coolant actions:

  • Increase system coolant
  • Decrease system coolant

Screenshots of the keybind screen (Options > Interface options > Configure Keyboard) in release EE-2024.12.08:

I request adding shortcuts to set system coolant to predefined percent levels, probably 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% to match the snap points.

Research direction

Start in src/screens/crew6/engineeringScreen.cpp around the snap points at lines 182-183, then trace how the existing system power and coolant shortcuts are registered for the keyboard configuration screen. Done means predefined coolant levels are available as keybindings and work at the requested snap points.
