How to make shift clicking on ammo move it to trash?

Post by British_Petroleum »

Hello,

When i shift click on items it moves it to logistic trash, which is nice, except when it's a gun or ammo, then it doesn't work. Is there a way to change this in the settings?

Which version of Factorio do you play?

This as a confusing inconsistency in 0.17 and earlier.

In 0.18 the character GUI was redesigned with three different tabs for "Crafting", "Character", and "Logistics". When the "Logistics" tab is open, shift+click on ammo will move it to logistic trash slots. When "Character" tab is open, shift+click will move it to ammo slots. I am not sure what happens when "crafting" is open, but I believe that it also moves to logistic trash.

Sadly this doesn't work when "Flat character GUI" is enabled in the settings.

I forgot that non-flat was even a thing, and considered that simply a bug questionable design decision, that you can not trash ammo.
