Logistics Character Sheet - Requested QOL Hotkeys
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2017 3:02 pm
Logistics character sheet, existing:
Left click empty: Set filter
Left click existing, un-selected: Select for stack size change
Right click: Remove filter
Quality of life request:
Left click and drag existing: Moves or swaps filter A with slot/filter B.
Shift+Left click existing: Increment option to the next stack (ie stack 50 item is at 10, goes to 50, then goes to 100 after a second shift click)
Shift+Right click existing: Decrement option to the next stack (ie stack 100 item is at 256, goes to 200, then to 100 after a second shift click)
Set filter screen: Shift+Left click: Set filter to a stack size of 1.
Ctrl+Left click existing: Increment option by 1 item.
Ctrl+Right click existing: Decrement option by 1 item.
Reasons:
QOL1) In order to move an item from one slot to another (for organizational purpose) one must delete the existing entries and reselect the filters in the new spots. For those that know innately where the filters are, this still takes a while. For those that don't, this can take 10+ seconds for each item.
QOL2,3) The majority of the time when I'm changing my logistic slot counts, I'm wanting a different stack amount. The slider isn't easy to move one tick, and each change requires 2 clicks. This hotkey allows single click changes to wanted stack sizes. I'm including the request to push changes into stack sizes since some items when set to a filter don't get set to a full stack. Speed/Efficiency/Productivity Modules all start at a request size of 10, even though their stack size is 50 (is this intended, or a bug? If it is a bug, then I would agree with this option only moving items by stack count instead of being exact stack count sticky).
QOL4) If I'm needing a small number of items, and I use a often changing request slot to ask for them, (for most items) I am getting a full stack. This leaves me with the choice to trash an item, putting more stress on my storage system since items can't natively go back to the relevant passive provider chest, or to lose a inventory slot for a rarely used item.
QOL5,6) I often set items that I commonly pick up, like inserters, to be a smaller than full stack size request. This allows me to trash at a full stack, but to not always be triggering a logistics robot each time I place and pickup an inserter.
