I'd like a flashing warning icon on mining drills whose status is "no mineable resources" just to make them easier to spot when doing cleanup rounds.
Not a notification, just an icon, like the no fuel and no power ones.

Flashing icon on empty mining drills
Took a break from 0.12.29 to 0.17.79, and then to ... oh god now it's 1.something. I never know what's happening.

Related topic (despite not the same suggestion) :

BTW, just by seeing how people dislike the flashing thing on unpowered entities, I'm not sure your suggestion would be unanimous.

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/No_Power_Icons takes care of that.
Easier to make a mod to remove them, than to add them if the functionality doesn't exist.

Bottleneck mod kind of does this for you, too.
Re: Flashing icon on empty mining drills
As noted in the linked thread, Auto Deconstruct can do this for you:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AutoDeconstruct
They're marked with a deconstruction X, so either your bots will take care of them, or you can manually remove them if you don't have bots there.

Re: Flashing icon on empty mining drills
+1 for mining drill "out-of-resource" icon
In the meantime bottlneck can probably do it.

I don't want to be spammed with garbage every time i go near a mining outpost.
That would be most easily fixed by finally allowing us to turn of the flashing. It's not the icon that annoys. It's just that it demands too much attention. Thus i'm pro this suggestion in the hopes that at some point in the future the devs finally give us static warning icons.

Re: Flashing icon on empty mining drills
if we could apply a filter to remove the empty mining drills in the deconstruction planner, that would be useful too...

Re: Flashing icon on empty mining drills
Together with a (flashing) icon this would be a really nice solution for the mentioned issue of auto-deconstruct (I like the mod anyway):varundevan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 11:51 amif we could apply a filter to remove the empty mining drills in the deconstruction planner, that would be useful too...
So definitely a +1 from me both for the icon (if it should be flashing or not is a different matter) and a more automatic way to deconstruct the mining drills.eradicator wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 10:27 amI don't want to be spammed with garbage every time i go near a mining outpost.

Re: Flashing icon on empty mining drills
I go with Koub: I found it much more useful to have auto-deconstructed miners (having a deconstruction icon painted on it) than to have one more blinking something that needs my immediate attention.
But it really doesn’t need immediate attention.
So I don’t see the need, because better solutions exists.
