Personal logistic profiles

Post by adr1231 »

TL;DR
Add profiles to the logistic/trash slots menu.

What ?
Add multiple customizable profile tabs to the personal logistic menu each containing a different set of items (put there by the player).

Why ?
Just like the hotbar has different profiles for different needs, the logistic requests/trash slot profiles should also mirror this circumstantial nature. This would allow players to fully use their limited inventory space to its maximum capacity.

This would not be very advantageous in the early game as bots would be very limited, but once the player reaches the mid to late game this would become a life changing quality of life improvement as now we can quickly switch out inventories using our bots, allowing us address numerous amounts of different situations without of having to spend 5 minutes reducing the amount of belts in our inventory, increasing number of walls, turrets, decreasing number of rails, etc... however number of times we might need to do it.

I recommend implementing https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AutoTrash into vanilla Instead.

Would this include grid configurations for armor and spidertrons?

IMHO yes, that hangs all together.

The far target (for me) is to store also equipment grids and hotbar configurations, because that are like siblings.
