[0.12.4] Research interrupts GUI

Post by codewarrior »

I am annoyed that, if research completes while I am choosing the filter or condition item for a smart inserter (or combinator, requester chest etc), the technology screen will appear and close the GUI windows I just had open. I would like it if the tech window would be more polite and wait until I am done configuring my machines before it takes over my screen.

There's a option in settings that does exactly what you're tasking for already. "Singleplayer game stops when research is completed".
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well... yes. But I would still like the window to come up if I am not busy configuring any machines. The default behavior without setting that option is what I find to be a bit rude.

So you basically want that the research screen only opens if you are not in any other UI window?
