Laptop Battery Notification

So while playing today, my laptop's power cord came unplugged at some point, and eventually died. I'm guessing factorio must end up blocking system notifications. I can understand the logic behind that, for more seamless gameplay. Would it be possible to implement an in-game warning for low battery/unplugged?

I dont think so. But you can probably run a program on that trigger that goes into foreground. In windows at least. Using task schedular and a python script maybe.

At the very least set up your computer to hibernate when on low power so you don't lose anything

but I doubt the Devs will want to include OS feature integration that has to work cross platform and for some people (like desktop users) just wouldn't make sense

This is definitely the operating system task (or the manufactor), not Factorio's.
For example: On my MacBook this works without problems.
