Space Platform Organizer - Enhanced

Space Platform Organizer - Enhanced

The remote view lists every space platform in one endless row. This mod turns that list into a panel with named, color-coded folders, so you find the right platform in seconds, even with dozens of them.

The five things you will notice first

• Folders and subfolders with colors, icons and notes, plus favorites, "Recently visited" and search
• Status at a glance: colored status dots, filter buttons (in transit / in orbit / paused / no schedule) and a status bar per folder
• Live preview when you hover a platform: route, progress, speed, weight, arrival time and main cargo
• Create several platforms at once with a ship blueprint book and a live material check
• Backup, recycle bin and automatic backup file, so a mistake never costs you your folders

Sorting and organizing

• Folders and one level of subfolders, custom colors, icons and notes, a colored stripe and a status bar per folder
• Favorites, "Recently visited", search, view by folder, by location or by route: ships in flight are grouped by their connection, with little comic spaceships on a track that show how far each one has come
• Sorting A-Z / Z-A with natural numbers and Roman numerals, by build progress, or your own custom order; optionally symbols in names count when sorting
• Auto-grouping by keywords with an editable rules window; new platforms are sorted automatically or offered an assign dialog
• Optional: folders, favorites and a custom order for planets
• An "Other" section for surfaces that are neither planets nor platforms (jump there, rename them; with the planet organizer they sort in with the planets)
• Hide what you do not need: Ctrl+click takes a platform, planet or other surface out of the lists into a collapsed "Hidden" section; Ctrl+Shift+click hides it entirely (it comes back through a button in the Manage window). Counters and warnings still include hidden platforms
• Delete platforms from the Manage window, after a confirmation that lists their names

Status, markers and preview

• Status filter buttons next to the search field, combinable, or as one button that cycles through the filters
• A colored status dot in front of every platform; warning icons for paused platforms and platforms without a schedule (optional)
• Build progress bar with time estimate for platforms under construction; the line below keeps a fixed height and shows "stalled" when nothing has been delivered for a while (can be turned off)
• Show the "Platforms under construction" group at the top, at the bottom, or not at all
• Finished platforms without a schedule get their own group, so you notice them at a glance
• A marker for the platform you are looking at and a player figure for the planet or platform your character stands on
• Preview on hover (can be switched off)

Make it look the way you want

The settings (gear button next to the search field) have three pages for the display:

• Hide the status dot, the location and status column, headings, colored stripes or the scrollbar; or put the status dot at the right end of the row
• Set the indent of subfolders and the row height
• Compact header: view, sorting and filter in one row
• Toolbar (search, view, sorting, filters) can be hidden completely; the gear button moves to the title bar
• Footer with small icon buttons (Manage, +), placed left, in the middle or on the right
• Highlight the whole row or only the button under the mouse (reacts instantly on servers with a higher ping)
• Display templates: save the display options, indent, row height and panel size under a name (Standard, Compact and up to 5 of your own); a small button next to the gear cycles through them
• Hide the panel in remote view when zooming in, like the game's own list
• Hide the panel while another window (for example a locomotive) is open, so it never covers anything
• One button resets all display options; sliders for panel height and width (in percent of the screen)

New platforms

• Extended "Add space platform" dialog: up to 10 platforms at once, consecutive numbering, target folder, ship icon and start planet
• Ship book: up to 20 ship blueprints per savegame (from your hand, a blueprint book, your personal storage or pasted text), reorder, rename, preview the parts per quality level, hand the book out as a real blueprint book and read it in again in other savegames
• Automatic ship blueprint on new platforms as soon as their hub exists
• Live material check: shows whether the logistic network of the chosen planet holds enough material for the selected ship and lists what is missing
• A "Space map" row at the top of the list, like in the original list, and a "To folders" button on the original list

Backup

• Export folders, rules, assignments, favorites, icons, notes and panel settings as text; import with a preview and a choice per section (skip / add / replace)
• Recycle bin for deleted folders (restore with rules and assignments) and an automatic backup file (every 30 minutes, can be turned off)

Good to know

• Requires Space Age. Open the panel with the shortcut bar button, Ctrl+Shift+P or /spo.
• Works with Factorio 2.1. Support for Factorio 2.0 will end soon; new features now come to the 2.1 file first, and the older 2.0 files remain available for download.
• Build progress, time estimate and the material check are approximations; the check only compares with the current stock of the logistic network and does not count items on their way.
