useSimulateContract doesn't return gas estimation

[jd1900]

In some type of TXs where there is a bit of randomness which makes the gas usage vary, I like to get the gas estimation and increase it by an amount (let's say 1.5 times the simulated value).

On wagmi 1.x I could do it getting the usePrepareContractWrite gas estimation, however, "useSimulateContract" doesn't return the estimated gas. But, I assume that under the hood it should know about it as it is simulation the TX, but it is not being exposed.

Could you expose the gas usage for "useSimulateContract"?

Nothing?

There is the useEstimateGas hook for this, but I'm not sure why it was removed from the prepare/simulate hooks

Using two RPC calls, which doesn't make sense.

It appears it was removed to reduce compute unit cost of useSimulateContract.

Thank you @generatorpoint , I hadn't seen that conversation.
I still think it may be interesting to include it.
We like to use it to to give the option to increase the gas limit, let's say from estimation to estimation * 1.2.
