# Forgejo #79: a small "+N" with the resource's own mark, rising and fading
# where the fleet picked something up.
#
# Collecting used to be entirely silent - a rock vanished and a number in the
# corner of the screen changed. Which number, and by how much, was left for
# the player to notice on their own. This says it at the point it happened,
# in the resource's own colour, and gets out of the way.
#
# Built from the SAME glyph scene the resource tables and transfer rows use
# (ResourceDefinition.glyph_scene), so a new material added to the catalog
# gets a correct pickup mark with no work here - and can never end up with
# one mark in the HUD and a different one in the world.

# warm, and it is not when this is reached indirectly through a preview scene
# loading Main.tscn. That failed to compile outright, taking Rock and the gas
# vents down with it. Callers preload the path too; see Rock.gd.
