Oh yes, remember the postion of a window is important for me, too.

The window can be moved ?! Who would have thought?

I only got to know about this after a few days of playing, when i dragged it by coincidence. But I am never really using it.

Merged into the older topic -- ßilk

Is there a way to record/remember the last position of the inventory window that is always recentered when I reopen it ?

Because it is not so practical that this inventory window open centered, hidding the object I just selected to edit it, or the object I want to feed with parts of my inventory.

So if I move this wondow, I would like to keep its new position all along the game.

Thanks for this great game.

After playing more, It would be really nice with setting filters in trains, especially if the window stayed in the same position realitive to the cursor.

As stated, I play Factorio maximized and every time I install mods or restart the game, it goes back to a small centered window and I have to maximize it again.

It would be nice if Factorio remembered it's position, size and state (eg. if it's maximized or not)

It should, please upload a log.

It never has remembered position and size of the window, only if it's set to fullscreen or not. When not in fullscreen it will always start in 1280x720 centered on the screen.

Exactly! Though I never played it full screen, I always play it windowed and maximized and it indeed has NEVER remembered it's location, size or maximized state

Can this please be moved back to being a bug or put into ideas and suggestions. This should really be fixed and it shouldn't take long to implement.

The game always starts in a small centered window when not running it full screen. Every time I restart the game or install or disable a mod and the game is restarted, I have to maximize the window again.

The game should remember it's window state (eg. maximized), it's size and position.

Remember the positions of windows the next time you open them. Eg. electric network, equipment etc.

Please, please, for the love of all that is good in you and the team, please can you please....pretty please.....save the window form size and position upon closing and reuse it the next time it opens.

Why? Because most games and applications do this almost instinctively as a year 1 process that it is almost a reflex to put it in....yet....this game doesn't do it.

Just saying.

[Koub] Merged with this very very old topic I happen to know because it was a request of mine

factoriouzr · Post by **factoriouzr** » Sat Jun 10, 2017 2:31 pm

I see that in 0.15.19 a fullscreen option was added. Can this feature please also be implemented and just remember the last window position and size and restore it every time the game is started or restarted for any reason.

[Koub] Merged topic because exactly same subject.
[Edit] and second merge, I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the fact Factorio resets tu default window size each time it's run

Post by **ssilk** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:54 am

Yes, very old one...
