Hi there,

Noob here, I'm trying to make a small mod that would give a better view of the current status of logistic requests.

Plan is simple:

• get all requested items
• get items from inventory
• get items on their way
• get available items from logistic network
• do basic maths
• show something somewhere on the UI

Nothing complicated as you can see, however I'm stuck with getting the logistic network.
LuaEntity provides something that looked perfect: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ic_network

It does work fine... Unless the player wears personal roboports. Indeed, when it's the case, I get the "personal" logistic network, which I don't care about

I've dug through logistic points, neighbours, various events and whatever else, to no avail.

So the question is:
How does one get access to the "real" logistic network the player's in? Or, how to get a list of existing networks so I can iterate through them and check if the player's in it?

This is the one you want:

Holy crap.

Since the beginning I assumed that LuaForce was a class representing entity movements and therefore never checked it

Thank you very much
