Logistic group name box should be a search box

Post by lightdark »

Essentially:

1. Typing in a name identical to an existing logistic group uses that group, instead of creating a new one with the same name
2. There is no existing way to search through logistic groups (and it's awful when you have many to find the right one)
3. The name box could act as a search box instead, limiting the list underneath the typed name to those that match, while still letting you enter a new name

Didn't appear to be an existing suggestion filed for it. Probably could be done with a UI mod, but not actually sure how UI mods work, so, IDK.

There is the search box in the top right of the popup window, same as with train stops and such

Huh, you're absolutely right there. I guess this does make what I'm asking for more of a minor QOL thing than a useful feature.
