Terminal

Terminal owns the programmable block console output that Mother renders each run. It keeps a short message buffer, a highlight area, and a compact indicator row for system activity.

Printing Messages

Use Print() or Mother.Print() for standard output.

public void Launch()
{
    GetModule<Terminal>().Print("Launch sequence started.");
    Mother.Print("Ignition confirmed.");
}

By default, long messages are trimmed to fit the in-game console width. Pass false to keep the full message.

Mother.Print(
    "Missile launching in 10 seconds. Current state: Awaiting final clearance.",
    false
);

Highlighting Important Values

Highlights render near the top of the terminal and are useful for status that should stay visible.

public override void Run()
{
    GetModule<Terminal>().Highlight($"Speed: {Mother.GetShipSpeed():0.0} m/s");
    GetModule<Terminal>().Highlight($"Altitude: {Mother.GetAltitude():0.0} m");
}

Clearing the Console

Use ClearConsole() to remove queued console lines.

GetModule<Terminal>().ClearConsole();

Useful Details

Most modules should not call UpdateTerminal() directly, because Mother handles the render cycle for you.

Emitted Events

Terminal does not emit any built-in events.
