Personal Logistics Sorted - SE mod doing this?

In the past I can place the icons anywhere in the Personal Logistics Tab, and they stay where I place them.
Something is disabling this.
I Do NOT want this to be sorted.
How do I stop it. I think the Space Exploration Mod is doing this.
Note that Sorting is disabled in the UI Settings.

Re: Fluid Mechanics Still Broken, 6 Years Later?

I say throw all the current fluid code out and rewrite it. Another of my favorite games (using Unity game engine), created a system of pipes that are basically conveyor belts with different graphics. It does mean that fluids only will flow in one direction. Which does greatly simplify the code and l...

Re: Is there a specific reason why wood is so useless? [edit: I was wrong, it's not]

I use wood to make floors of various colors. I created my mod to do this based on an old mod called 'White Floors' if I remember correctly.
The colored floors make it easier to plan my layout in my factory. So for me, wood is very useful.
And doesn't Dectorio us wood?

Re: how long have you played factorio ?

Somewhere August/Sepember will mark my 10 year anniversary of playing Factorio for the first time :shock: I thought the game was released 4 years ago on Steam. I found my first post on steam for this game in February of 2018. I guess it was available elsewhere much earlier. I guess I forgot. My tot...

Re: Looking for input on a Coal Power Plant mod design and Steam Engines/Boilers

I still use mods and I find the above reason for not using them is just an excuse for giving up. Mods in this game are so extremely easy to use and modify in this game. (Might be partly since I have been programming everything since 1976, first year of college.) If you have problems with writing mod...

Re: About new things in shop :D

For me I found the shirt sizes don't match the sizes of shirts I would purchase in the US. That's why there are measurements in a real length unit in addition to the "XL" terminology. It's common knowledge that whatever is considered large anywhere in the world, it's even larger in the US...

Thanks for your reply.

Re: About new things in shop :D

I agree about the overly cheap products. For me I found the shirt sizes don't match the sizes of shirts I would purchase in the US. The definition of 3XL should be the same worldwide by now. I was not allowed a refund, so I had to get rid of the extremely small shirts that wouldn't fit me. Edit: I s...

Someone reported on the Quicksave mod, that it is broken again on 1.1.94.
I'll need reproduction steps because this logic has not changed sine it was fixed due to this report.
I should have tested it myself before reporting this. Also works ok for me.

I like the two lane belts. They work well. I do wish that other games would incorporate the two lane belts as well.

Re: DO NOT overlap the top buttons bar for dialogs in center position

It would be nice if we could move and size the windows to how we wanted them, and the game remembered this.
And it would be helpfull if the shortcuts on the bottom were never covered up. I quite often need to see them when the Inventory is opened.

Re: Passive Requester Chests

I don't see the point of this. By default the game pulls from the Yellow chests first which basically takes care of any cleanup. What I do that helps with this is to only place 1, or very rarely, 2 Yellow chests without limiting them to a specific item (no filters). The ones with filters in them are...

Re: FFF is killing me

I would like to see some things in the FFF that are relevant now. The Experimental release recently was really good. A bit of advanced notice on releases relevent to the current game would be helpfull.
And, it would be nice if the Experimental release updates were posted on Steam.

Re: Anyone else got hyped enough about space age that they had to dive into space exploration?

I am not really 'hyped', but I started a new game with SE and several other QOL mods. I guess I was bored. I also reset my blueprints to zero and restarted that from scratch.

Re: Shadow angle, Medium power poles

I never liked the medium pole. I usually use a large wooden pole that looks more like the real wooden poles I see locally. I think Klonan made it originally.

Re: Do we actually need Pipes to be non-directional? (Looking at Captain of Industry)

I prefer the pipe system of Captain of Industry. It is a lot easier to deal with than in this game. I believe their pipes are treated like belts internally which would greatly simplify things here.
