Gui

• The character GUI now has a new look.
• Personal logistics has been moved to a separate tab. Logistic requests and auto trash have been merged into one panel.
• Using quick inventory transfers in the player inventory of the character gui will transfer the items either to weapons and armor slots or to trash slots depending on the selected tab, regardless of item type.
• Updated the look of filter, item and circuit signal selection GUIs.

Changes

• Personal logistics are now unlocked by a single research. This unlocks personal logistic requests and auto trash(unlimited count), plus 30 character trash slots.
• Removed the restriction of not allowing to have two identical blueprints in the blueprint library or blueprint book.
• Allowed to delete blueprint/books/upgrade planners/deconstruction planners also when opened in other inventory.
• Removed the utility slots (to create blueprint, book etc) from blueprint library as it is now available directly through quick tools menu.
• Allowed to edit blueprints in the blueprint library the same way as when it is an item.
• Allowed to export blueprint books in blueprint library (it was only possible in inventory before).
• Allowed to choose whether train fuel should be included in a blueprint.

Interesting ...

"Open equipment grid" has a different size and missing the close button, search button and the text "Inventory". Missing close buttons in many windows, like blueprints and so on. I know you can close with e. But in the current state it's inconsistent.

Please add enable/disable personal logistics bots to quick bar.

I second this!

Yes, this GUI hasn't been polished yet

Pls add support for Custom RGB and other Style like no Background and images for the quickbar! Otherwise you will break a lot of mods and dont give them a nice option for custom Tools.

Was wondering what happened with that update - until I saw new GUI.

Thanks for that, that's a great relief.

Opening character GUI now tanks the frame-rate. That's the only change that I've noticed.

The new character GUI looks and feels amazing! Very good change

literally unplayable

How does this filter in the yellow boxes work and what about the logistic filter boxes inaccessible besides the only top one left in top in the filter?

Logistics storage has never had more than one filter. The square boxes are just background for where more filters would be if there were any but there aren't.

This is a whitelist filter for logibots and conbots, so they know what kind of stuff they are allowed to drop in this chest.
If you don't filter anything they will just dump stuff in random chests, while trying to keep the same type of items in the same chest.

It does not - if I set the filter to a raw product like copper the box get filled. If I set it for example to red inserters it doesn't store in the very box but elsewhere

I see - so it allows a certain item to be stored but the bots are not forced to do - right?

https://wiki.factorio.com/Logistic_network

To place items into storage chests, the bots search for a storage chest that already stores items of the same type, then for one which has its filter set to the item type. If that can't be found, they choose the first storage chest with a free slot from the list, which is sorted by the order they were built in.

Thank you indeed - now I understand

Another thing I noticed is that while there are roboport toggle and exoskeleton buttons in the little toggle button bar at the bottom, there is no logistics supply toggle button. I presume this is also a polishing issue.

I really like the new GUI. Thank you for this. It's fantastic.

• Personal logistics are now unlocked by a single research. This unlocks personal logistic requests and auto trash(unlimited count), plus 30 character trash slots.

After upgrading there is no `Logistics` tab in my character screen, however `Logistic robotics` item is already researched. This appears after loading a game where I haven't had any trash/personal logistics researched (yet) and allowing migrations to be done after load.

Is it possible that the migrations do not handle the special case where `Logistic robotics` is already researched but none of the personal/trash research-item is done when loading the game?

Let me know if I can attach any kind of migration/upgrade log...

EDIT: also in the `L`-menu (logistics networks) the personal network is present, the character showing up as a `Member` of the network.
