Description:
This hack extends the display when selecting the compost bin info: It adds up all compost bins on the lot and displays also the total values of composted amount, amount to be composted, and the overall empty space. This shall help to get a quick overview in case the compost bins stand far apart from each other (see screenshots for example). I left in the function that the sim has to go to the selected bin, but only to the first one. It is no longer necessary to walk up to each bin and check it individually.
All game languages found in the original compost bin file are included! I simply copied the text and modified some variables. If you find any error in your language, please send me a PM with the correct text, and I'll update this object. Thank you in advance
This hack requires EP5 - SEASONS.

1. CtfG_EP5_ShowAllCompostBins.package
2. Readme.rtf
Installation / Uninstallation:

this should be a global mod because you don't have to buy anything in the catalog to activate it. from what it looks like, you just added another menu option to calculate all the compost on the lot. am i correct?
[edit] i'm going to take the liberty to move to "global mods" because you don't need to buy anything from the catalog to activate it. plus, i tested it and it works!

I did not add a pie menu entry. All I did was setting up an additional "Set Next Compost Bin" loop within the existing function to check the lot for further compost bins, and if found any, I added their data to variables Local3, Local4, and Local5 (Local0 - Local2 are used in the original function). You are right in some way that it affects all lots, but since this feature is connected to the compost bin, I thought it would fit better into "Object Mods". But actually, it doesn't really matter

Because it affects all lots without having to buy an object from the catalog to make it work, I consider this to be a "global mod" because it happens in the background. To me, "object mods" are cloned objects with new functionality (different from the original) or completely new objects with a mishmash of actions/functions.
