[2.0.77] GameViewSettings.show_alert_gui not showing alert gui

Unless I don't correctly understand what this setting should do, GameViewSettings.show_alert_gui doesn't seem to work.

Code: Select all

game_view_settings = {
  show_controller_gui = true,
  show_quickbar = true,
  update_entity_selection = true,
  show_alert_gui = true
}
With these settings for a tips-and-tricks sim and a train that tries to move to its station without fuel I expect the alert gui to show up but that doesn't seem to be the case:

Also note that it doesn't show the icon on top of the train either. Not sure if that should be part of the "alert gui" though, but if not, I'd like to know how I can show those in a sim.

Anyway, I've attached a mod with the tips-and-tricks added.

In this sim I create the blueprint bellow which contains the train with a schedule for the station. In a regular game it immediately shows the alert gui, so I don't think that's the problem.
