So i came with this idea, only for chest window there will be all mini icon to transfer item quickly.
[Normal inventory will not appear this feature]

------------------------------

And this one is Main UI of the game, i consider for consistency of previous game that i played before sometimes UI is block me almost everything
or notify in misplace so... This is the original layout of UI

To make it clear let see its outline

And this...
is my idea for new UI Placement / Redesign for some
-- Notification will stack multi pop up in bar at top left corner,
I think 1 wouldn't be enough and it's too hard to see
It create confusion that information were group in once place, we need some space
[Think of Notification eg. Line/Facebook message pop up on your lock screen for top left Notification Slot]

If I could pick any 2 things from this thread to have right away


Hot bar sliding, to hide the bottom 3 hotbars when I don't need them

Map gen icons

Love all of this.

One thing I would say, please make whole in-game UI via a mod, which can be overriden or switched off; allow mods to augment and even replace the in-game UI.

The Factorio Team should hire you both for a week or two to redesign the whole UI in that way.

So i came with this idea, only for chest window there will be all mini icon to transfer item quickly.

FYI - this can be done already using keyboard shortcuts. Shift-click to move the stack the cursor is over, shift-right-click to move half the stack over or ctrl-click to move all of that type of item over.

Sometimes there're too many stack of same item in my inventory, like 20 bundle but i want to put only 4-5 in chest, then put in other chest for other pipeline
As new player i dont know much function so there're no tips while open it so i guess user interface might help
