Logistics UI Improvement/Functions

Post by benckoch »

I would like to see several functions added to the logistics list (hotkey L) and ghost inventory.

#1 Say I press L and see I have 10 wooden chests in network. I would like to be able to click on the wooden chest in the logistics menu similar to the quick bar and make that my selection to build/place.

#2 Place a button next to each item in the logistics (L) menu to make a one time request. I have 10 wooden chests in my logistic network. I click the button and it brings up a box saying make one time request. I could input 5 and five chests could be delivered via the network/bots.

#3 When you have an items selected for building/placement also show a second counter showing the number of items in the logistic network. So if I have 5 wooden chests on my person and 10 in network it would display a stick figure icon with the number 5 next to it and a box icon with the number 10 next to it.

It is difficult to discuss threads like this, with many suggestions in one thread.
Please see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47316 and viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394

At least I know #2 is implemented as mod:

I think #1 is also possible with this.

For #3 I don’t see the need, I don’t know what this would improve.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
