As you can see in the screenshot there is a problem with large logistic networks inventories. If you hover over a chest connected with the network, it will show you the content of the whole network. But if there is too much in the network, you can't see everything because the icons go offscreen. This can be really annoying if you just want to check if you have enough of a certain item or if you want to check if your new setup removed the supply problem of an item. Maybe the window should be larger so it can fit more items or you just remove that and instead add in a window for "logistics" where you can check everything concerning your network, e.g. the inventory. I am thinking of something similar to the window that opens if you click on an electric pole.

Press "L"

Nevermind... I just realised that I played 327 hours without knowing this and now I know how much time I wasted with searching inventories of provider chests...

Maybe a "Press 'L' (or whatever the keybind) to see full data" tooltip could prevent this kind of "been playing for years without knowing this QoL thing".
Most people don't cycle through all controls to see if there is a neat feature hidden behind a keybind.

But it's soooo obvious, isn't it?

why should it be? i also didnt know it til l now.... 1200h+

It'd be nice if the Logistics screen were one of the views accessible from the buttons in the top right menu. This is one of my primary complaints with the game (150+ hours in) and it had a fix all this time!

Meanwhile, a reference to it could be added to the Tips and Tricks ? (Or the Basic logistic system tutorial...)
