Logistic network inventory tooltip

Post by SupremeBashar »

Hi Guys,

TY for building this awesome game! Major timesink :p.
I have one small tip that makes life a lot easier and should be pretty easy to implement.

Currently it's not easy to see if the object you want to make in your inventory is already present in the logistical network.
Can you put a line in the tooltip of that item indicating its in the network? Or maybe have a green highlight around it when is in the network and a red one when it isn't?

Just a suggestion :-).

Keep up the good work guys!

Greets,

Marnix

Hovering your mouse above storage, requester and provider chests shows all items inside local logistics network.

Yes but when the list gets to long you it will be truncated. So you will not be able to see all Items.

I think I posted this idea in a different suggestion, too, but a second number on each inventory icon, showing how many of them are in the logistic network (if you're standing inside one) would be nice. It could be toggled with Alt if it's too distracting.

Yeah I know, but you can't really easily find something in this window. And you also have to check in a chest and after that open your inventory to make something. That's a bit of a hassle imho :-). And as EvanT remarks, truncated...

Alt toggle is a good idea, i like that!
