Is it possible to make a custom entity GUI? As in, the panel that appears when you click things like containers, assemblers, etc, but with lua-driven contents?

Related: how about custom entity configs? E.g. I want to make a pump-type entity that has a customizable throughput limit. I've actually got this working on the fluid level, but I'm not sure about the best way to expose the setting to the player.

Unfortunately not, the GUIs are hardwired into the base game.

what you can do though is create a secondary GUI that opens on the left side of the screen. In my case you open it by pointing to the entity and pressing SHIFT + E. Other people have written an on_tick event that opens it when it detects you open the main GUI.
