About Logistic request helper

From Factorio Mod Portal

Quickly set logistic requests and update signal groups in a crafting tab-like GUI without unnecessary steps!

Logistic Request Helper

Adds a window that allows you to quickly set logistic requests. The window automatically opens when you open an entity that supports logistic requests.

The lay-out in the new GUI resembles the crafting pane; all items are on the same location so that you can easily find them back.

How it works:

Left click: Increase by 1 stack
Right click: Decrease by 1 stack
Control: Min amount only
Shift: Max amount only
Alt + left click: Max to infinite
Alt + right click: Clear
Right click infinite: set max to 10 stacks
(Control or Control + Shift) + Left click new: Set min/max to 1 stack
Shift + Left click new: set min to 0 and max to 1 stack
Right click new = set min/max to 0 stacks

Demo

Known issues

Hovering over the request number on an icon doesn't make the button glow (won't fix, modding limitation)
When hovering from/to the request number the tooltip briefly disappears (won't fix, modding limitation)

Roadmap

Implement "import from" section in the space platform hub
Some GUI improvements
