Item request UI

[Zero1Two]

Hello all,

A suggestion concerning the logistics requests user interface: I think it would be intuitive and quite useful if in the logistics request interface, when the item menu comes up, the icons representing items were to be grayed out if the item is not available in the current logistics system, AND if the icons showed a number representing the amount available in the current logistics system.

For example: if your base had logistics chests with 5 med power poles and 10 inserters total, then when you open your inventory and set a logistics request (or open this menu in a requester chest), the menu that opens up would have everything grayed out and med power poles would have a '5' and inserters would have a '10'

Alternatively: If graying out icons would make people think that the icon are inactive and thus they cannot the request the item, then instead you could simply add a '0' to all items that are not available and not gray it out.


Thank you for your consideration
