I used the scenario editor to create a chest full of coins, and I figured I'd use them to stress test my power plant by forcing robots to move them to other chests. However, I can't find 'coin' in the menu for the requester chest or the filter inserter.
I'm using a bunch of mods.
Can't request or filter coin

Re: Can't request or filter coin
The coin item has the "hidden" property. You need to write a mod that removes it, or use a console command to set the filter.
But it would be easier to just use a non-hidden item for your tests, like alien artifact.

This seems intentional, and coin is not the only item with that flag.

I think the bug is that hidden items show in the map editor.

Re: Can't request or filter coin
It seems to me that you shouldn't be able to have items in chests that you can't manage normally using the logistic network, that said I understand the usefulness of hidden items in reducing clutter in the already cluttered item menu. I'm not sure what the solution is.
