GUI Override

Post by kiba »

Would it be possible to override the default UI with something else entirely?

Nope, unfortunately this is currently not possible.

You can change the styles of the GUI by overwriting them using a mod but the actual layout and button count/information displayed is hard coded.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Is there a way to figure out the name of the game GUI I am looking at so I can destroy it?

If it's not a mod-added GUI you can't destroy it. If it is, you can access it through the normal methods to access mod GUIs: player.gui

Ah, that's a shame. I had to devise my own contorting workaround to create my own GUI.

This is sorely needed. It's kind of baffling that we have gui access but not the ability to overide guis for custom objects, or even just add guis when deriving from types without them.
My Mods:
Nixie Tubes - numeric displays for your circuit networks!
Logistic Combinators - use logistics values in circuit logic! -
Autowire - automate red/green wire connections
