About Better Linked Chest

From Factorio Mod Portal

Linked chest with Dropdown to set the Chest inventory.

Adds my version of a linked chest.

#Known Issues

  • Removing the original link gui prevents the correct pasting of blueprints containing configured chests.

#Settings New Settings have been added. Research requirements, crafting cost and invetory size can be configured. If you want to have the same settings as before 1.0.12 use:

  • Crafting Cost: easy
  • Required Research: logistic
  • Inventory Size: 120

#Features

  • Adds an implementation of the hidden "linked-chest" with some modifications for better usability.
  • Chests with the same Link ID share an inventory.
  • When placing a new Chest the default Link ID = 0 is applied.
  • In the user interface are 2 ways to register a new Link ID. The Preset Link ID is the first available starting at 1.

-- Input a Link Name and Link ID -- Use the choose elem button (below the Link Name Textfeild) to pick an item. The name of the item is copied to the Link Name. After both steps the Add button registers the link.

  • With the Remove button the currently selected Link is removed.
  • Chests can be connected to logistic circuit

#New Features

  • Dropdown list is now translated if possible
  • Added a new button, that lets you pick an item and the name is set automatically (See last images)
  • Pasting a Blueprint on chests in the world now sets the correct link
  • Pressing Add now automatically selects the added link in the opened chest
  • Dropdown list is now sorted by the link name

#Coming Soom

  • Better graphics for the chest

Additional Info

  • Mutiplayer not tested! Probably not working xD

Fell free to open a discussion of you have any requests or improvments. This is my first mod. If you get any errors i'll do my best to correct them and i know my artwork is not the best xD.
