[0.17.x] Save and Load Quickbar Layouts like blueprints

[5thHorseman]

To tide you over, or replace the need entirely(maybe?), I wrote a mod that works like blueprint strings but for the quickbar. You can take a look here.

THANK YOU

OP should link to this and everybody should download it if they desire this feature in the stock game. The developers DO watch the mod portal to determine desired features.

Proving once again that I am not capable of original thought. Thanks!

This is by far the #1 feature that I want to see in Factorio. I can't count how many times I've fired the game up, started a new game, realized I'd have to spend 10 minutes swapping between saves to get my hotbars set up properly, and just quit.

[StarLite]

Just here to pitch in that I would LOVE to see this feature become a thing.
I spend the first couple of minutes on EVERY single server I join setting up my hotbar (and logistics requests) with the same bar. It gets tiresome after doing it for the 69th time in a week. Toolbar presets (and perhaps logistic request presets) would be absolutely amazing

Nonetheless, this deserves to be in vanilla.

It is also quite similar to
- load/save logistic requests/trash requests, see https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AutoTrash
(I saw also https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PersonalL ... portExport )
- load/save equipment grid (yours or other vehicles) - but kind of rare need
- some would also like to Load/save their sorting of inventory...

Did I forget something?

- load/save equipment grid (yours or other vehicles) - but kind of rare need

I disagree : the tedium of always having to refill my vehicles with ammo/fuel over and over again every time I pick them up discourages me to use vehicles in general
This into vanilla would be a nice QoL without altering the game balance. I remember seeing a mod for that, but should be into vanilla.

Did I forget something?

Maybe : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=45083 (map presets)

But now, we're on the verge of going off topic. As a summary, whatever gets repeated over and over should be as much automatable as possible, including export/import and/or creating presets.

I'd also like to request this.

Hi there

this stuff could be very usefull.
When you start a new game always it's need to set toolbar.

So why don't make a new blueprint page... toolbar page
Where you can set shortcuts or copy that you already use.

Still hoping for something like this for hotbar, logistic requests, and inventory filters.

TL;DR

Having an option in the settings to set a "profile" for the quick bar filters

What ?

Being able to have a persistent setup of how your quick bars are laid out so that you automagically have the filters how you want between save games.

Why ?

You're playing on your own map, you've got your quick bars set up exactly how you want them, everything is dandy..
Your buddy invites you to do a multiplayer with him/her, and suddenly your beautifully laid out quick bars are gone. You have to manually set the bars up each time, which is annoying.
As someone who plays solo, self hosted multiplayer, and multiple 3rd party multiplayers servers, having a persistent layout that I can quickly load in would be amazing.
