Add option to hide "placed in" in equipement tooltip

Post by SuperSandro2000 »

I have quite some mods installed and for vehicle equipment I can place them in so many vehicles that I can't read the entire tooltip anymore. To be honest I don't really care where it can be placed at least for generic vehicle equipment.
I think an option to just hide that information would be really useful and appreciated by a lot of people playing mods.

Hm, Factorio needs something to handle variants of entities/recipes/items.

Edit: I meant that a modder can create new entities that he defines as a “variant of entity X”. Given is a “main item”, like transport belt. If there is no variant it works as now. Adding a variant (e.g. fast belt) would mean: still displayed as one icon (not two), with a small number sign in the edge that displays the number of variants (in this case “2”). Hovering over that displays the two items as small list below. And from there on it works similar to now.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
