Open Space map with hotkey

Post by Woxan »

I would like to be able to open the Space map with a hotkey.

What?

Ideally, this would also be open in the modding API in the defines or something similar.
Why?

In the mid to late game, it's nice to take an overview of the solar system spanning factory from the space map view. It serves as a visual check to see where space platforms are waiting and where bottlenecks may be lurking on the surface!

I would love for the ability to open the Space Map via the modding API.

My use case is that I am creating a replacement UI for the Surfaces panel in the remote view, which has been going well (theres API's for hiding the vanillla pannel, and I can switch between surfaces no problem, etc), but I only just now realized by hiding the Surfaces vanilla UI for my own, I lose the ability to open the Space map entirely, because there is no way to make a new button or event to open it from the current modding API.

Pretty bummed actually as my mod plans are basically dead as being able to view the space map is a pretty important feature.
