[2.0.12] Search option in MODS is non obvious

Post by lxl »

Hello Together.

In the mod screen of version 1.x it was clear where to search because it was in the same pane as sorting and Type Selection.
In 2.x the search option for mods is in a different layer. Definitly a problem for 1.x user but also might confuse new user.

Absolutely agree, I find it confusing too. The mod list is on the left and the mod info is on the right, but the search is tucked all the way in the top-right, which is why I missed it for quite a while. I'm used to the close button being there when it comes to windowed design, and I think the search should be moved to the top of the mod list in the mod menu. Especially when searching for mods to install.

Search in upper right is consistent with many other windows in Factorio. But having a text input closer to other controls would make the UI easier read.

This is resolved in the 2.0.14 release.
