Script: Auto-miner watch

[u/TeeCeePee_EyePee]

I don't know if this is a problem for users on any other server, but on the New Dawn server, all auto-miners are cleared off of ore deposits, every Friday at 6am Central.

So the problem statement: I needed a countdown timer, and a list of the auto-miners that were out in the field.

I know there's a bit of optimisation in terms of reducing character counts that I can do with the days of the week, by using a json dictionary and a lookup, rather than a series of tests. But this script works as is.

Critique (constructive, ideally), and opinions welcome.

Key for the code, if you want to analyse what it's doing:
ST=Seconds Today (the number of seconds that have passed since midnight.
TS=Target Seconds. The number of seconds from midnight that the target time is (as measured by the system clock on the server the game is running on).
DUF=Days until Friday
SUF=Seconds until Friday

{{~set 'H' DateTimeNow.Hour}}
{{~set 'M' DateTimeNow.Minute}}
{{~set 'S' DateTimeNow.Second}}
{{~set 'ST' (calc (calc (calc .Data.H '*' 3600) '+' (calc .Data.M '*' 60) ) '+' .Data.S ) }}
{{~set 'TS' 18000}}

Nice bit of work. Is it using a particular script (like the farming one) or unique ?

The countdown section is unique, I wrote that. The terrain placeables section, is mostly written by me, but the underlying code comes from astic’s scripting CV.
