Factorio Forums

I would like to see how many of you would like to see this in the game and if we can get tons of votes for it, maybe we can keep talking to the developers of Factorio to add this in.

The thought is, in the research window, JUST like there is in the crafting menu to the right when you press E, there is Tabs, so you can easily go through without having a huge grouped up of everything to craft.

So in other words, GROUPED/FILTERED Research window/tabs.

I want to develop a mod for this game, but I have such a large idea that it would most likely require tabs for research, is the main reason I want it. Either way even without any mods, it would be VERY VERY helpful to have groups/tabs for Research window.

Also post and let me know what you all think, and maybe the devs will read this post and see our thoughts/ideas on this?

If there is already a post about this somewhere, please post a link here perhaps?

Moderator speaking: I've turned the poll duration down to 1 day, reason:
A vote for that is definitely WRONG, cause it will bring "your suggestion" into the wrong context and enhances a point, which is not relevant yet.

In other words: Either you want this, then go to suggestions board and make a suggestion, like anybody else, but don't forget to search for other suggestions before, cause you will find others, that did that suggestion before you.
Or you ask here for example if it is planned to have grouping. The answer would be in this case, that the current research tab is of course not the end state.

There is nothing against a discussion about this:
Have you thought about the complexity of this? How to implement a grouping graph for a highly modable game, with hundreds of researchable stuff and thousands of dependencies? I know some dozens of more important suggestions, before this should be done.
