toggle to hide pinned locations?

Post by orangemammut »

Is it possible to toggle the visibility of the pinned locations? Or perhaps move them in another place?

I have a list of about 10 pinned locations and now I can no longer see all the details when I hover over an assembler or other entity. I would like to be able to collapse the view of the pins and only expand when needed.

Perhaps an image explains better what I mean.

I'm wondering if there is perhaps already a setting to achieve this? I've looked through the controls, but could not find it.

I would love this feature too. I basically have to delete all my pins if I want to view anything on the space station. I couldn't see things like electricity details (and there was no indicator that there's more to see, and no way to scroll).

The pins being always fixed and not able to hide is an inconvenience. The only solution is to remove the pin and add it back (basically invalidating the pin feature in that case).

Edit: Maybe even a max height for pins before needing to scroll, or have those be the first thing that get collapsed so you can see the items you hover.
I like your suggestion of hiding them just when you're showing other things, so they're not gone forever (even though a quick toggle would also work). Since when you're interacting with a specific item, you won't need the pin at that point in time

Also allowing you to resize the list by dragging the bottom edge?
I personally just deleted all my pins as it was causing too many problems.
