Dedicated window for Logistic System Storage

Post by cybersteel8 »

In regards to the logistic system storage window, it's in a pretty inconvenient place. As you can see in the screenshot, it often goes off the screen. My save has a "cache" which is a collection of storage chests, where we trash all our junk. This leads to a large variety of miscellaneous items available, but it's really hard to see what we have and don't have in the system.

I'd like to suggest a window, in a similar nature to the "production statistics" or "electric network info" window, that contains a sorted list of all the items available in the logistic system. Additionally, if possible, this list could be searchable in the same manner as the technology tree or crafting window.

Please contribute feedback to this idea in this thread! If anyone thinks this is a good or bad idea, I'd love to hear more and discuss it further!

Good to know we have such window now! Didn't read the whole changelog either. :P
I think we need a button for that. I don't really like to remember shortcut keys.
