[0.18.17] Logistics Gui resets count when item selected

Post by plepper1 »

What
When you create a new Logistics request, the item is blank and the count defaults to 1.

If I then set the count I want

And then pick the item

It resets the count to the size of a stack, forcing me to re-enter the count of items I want.

Why
When switching from the crafting tab to the logistics tab in order to make a request for components of an item I'd like to create, it is easier to remember the item I'm after than the count I am after, so entering the number first and then selecting the item requires less personal memory power.
How
If the user has set a quantity on the request popup, do not overwrite it when they select an item.

This seems like more of a request, rather than a bug

I went back and forth on that too, but overriding direct user input made me come down on the side of 'bug'.

I'm ok with this being moved to suggestions.
