Show every construction job in the alerts panel

Post by Nicksaurus »

I have about 100,000 robot (de)construction jobs scheduled in my factory. Since I only have 6000 construction bots, there should be 10's of thousands of alerts warning me about jobs missing bots, but there are never more than around 600. I can even look at the map and watch the 600-ish alerts move around as different jobs become 'active'.

The reason this is a problem for me is that my personal roboport bots never seem to do a nearby job unless it has an alert.

For me this is not a suggestion, it's more a bug report (not really, but closer to bug than to suggestion).

I move it to bug, cause I'm not able to reproduce THAT, sorry. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Ah right. Is there no way this could be improved to be a bit more intuitive then? Or if there's a more detailed logistics job screen planned is there a thread for that?

There's a logistics screen planned at some point.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well that's good to hear. Thanks.
