Add the ability to find display panels using the search feature with the remote view.
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2025 8:52 pm
In 2.0 
, the crazy developers at Wube created an extremely useful feature embedded into the new remote view called: Remote search.
With this feature you could search for ore patches and production locations.
Today I'm proposing that this feature could be expanded to be able to search for display panels exactly how it can currently be used to search for map tags.
This is how it would work:
Or alternatively it could be a togelable tikbox that activates this suggested feature. Like this:
download/file.php?mode=view&id=106632
This would help immensly in say:
Multiplayer, where many player must stay in communication often.
New players who might want to make so generic reminder to themselves.
Ultra Modde playtrough, where you have no idea what mass production chain is where.
People who are just really considerate towards their future selves.
This proposal would also be better than just searching for map tags, in key ways.
These display panels can be moved easily which means you could make some sort of generic blueprint library for reminders.
You could also add them to blueprints to organise your base building plans.
Love. Vanur.
