Hi Factorio Devs

can you please make the new research queue draggable, so players can reorder it? Sometimes things come up (especially with mods like Bob's or Angel's) where you want to reorder or priorize some research, but not lose the whole queue for that.

Thanks in advance

I must admit, this is a feature that I'd find useful

One of the things I kept doing during my testing was...
cancel current research
add toolbelt research 4
add even more toolbelt research
add current research back on the end.

if I could just queue up all the new stuff, like toolbelt in this case, then drag the existing one to the end instead of having to cancel and re-add it, that would be brilliant.

Fairly straightforward suggestion/feature request here: With the research queue enabled from the start of the game, I'd like to have an option to reorganize things I have queued up. Either by drag-drop or by having arrows to the side of each research queued to move it left/right.

Hello!
As pic below I think we need a drag&drop option to change the order of queue research list in case I change my mind instead of delete the list and redo from begin.

Thank you.

I was coming on here to post this exact thing. I have a queue set up, but either I forgot something in my O.o.O. or a new pressing matter (like aliens) have changed my priorities. being able to queue up the new thing you need and drop it in its proper place in line (probably the front) would be wondervoll.

+1 for drag and drop, I tried to do this already.

Not so keen on having arrow buttons on every item, that would look cluttered imo.

So much this.

I also wanted to suggest this
Of course you should not be able to arrange the queue in a way that should not work (e.g. moving a prerequisite after a following tech).

The queue needs to be able to be rearranged!

Agreed... This is in my wish list for the new tech tree window.

Drag & drop in research queue, exactly what I came here to post, so it's a big +1 !

The new research gui really feels like the queue should be longer, at least 10 researches, and allow reordering by dragging.

There's really no reason it shouldn't allow as many researches queued up as you want, if it had a horizontal scrollbar.

+1

That is all.

Would it be possible to be able to change the research in the queue without having to delete all queued up researches first, i would like to be able to pick up a research in the queue and drag it to the front of the queue...or add buttons like < << >> > so the research could be shuffled around.

I see you guys already implemented drag and drop in rail guis, so I guess you have already got the fundations up running? Time to apply that to research queue too!
