Factorio Forums

I don't feel comfortable tackling complex UI tasks in Factorio yet. I want to add some functionality to train wait conditions. Is there any existing mod that adds a GUI for configuring anything per-train that I might either contribute my idea to or cannibalize for its UI functionality?

I think FARL or Shuttle Train might be the closest to what you're looking for, but I don't know that either of them has per-train settings. Maybe the Fat Controller? I'm not entirely clear what you're looking for, but those have GUIs relating to trains.

SmartTrains does mess around with trains and waiting conditions. But as i found out yesterday after trying to find a bug after not really touching it for 5 months: The code is a horrible mess, do NOT take it as anything other than a how-not-to.
(FatController and FARL's gui code is almost as bad)

Nexela does some rather nice looking code in his fork of Shuttle Train (don't know how the actual gui looks)

Pretty sure that's a normal feeling -- in those 5 months you've learned how to do it much better. I get the same feeling about EvoGUI and YARM, but I don't believe they're that bad.

Please forgive the off-topic.

Ohhhh thanks!

Actually had the GUI looking good before I ripped it out in favor of the map and keybinds
