      Why would we need such a mod?

      I often get stuck with two things:

      1. To rush or not to rush gun/pgen? Can I get enough overflow from my allies to do it quickly?
      2. To build or not to build another pgen? Maybe I too much relying on overflow?

      With the total income I cannot distinguish whether my income is good because I have enough pgens or because of my allies. This mod would help me and like myself with this struggle a lot.

      The goal

      Replace value in the bar that shows how much energy is being reclaimed right now with how much energy is overflowing from allies right now.

      If this way of implementing it isn't possible, please consider doing it as a fork of Supreme Score Board mod v1.

      The arithmetic behind UI mod shouldn't be hard. As far as I understand , currently your:
      total E income = reclaim + your generation + overflow
      Therefore it can be easily calculated that your:
      overflow = total E income - reclaim - your generation

        You can compute that based on these stats. And it will be easy to add into my scoreboard. But if you are willing to do such for supreme scoreboard, you can only hope.
