Generic Logistic Chest

DBy DedlySpyder

Allows the player to make a special chest that can be turned into any of the base game logistic chests.

Description

Allows the player to make a specific generic chest that can be turned into any logistic chest within a group. With no compatible mods, this means a generic logistic chest can be changed into any of the normal logistic chests.

Terminology

  • Generic Chest - The "Generic Logistic Chest" (and variants with other mods) that players have as an item
  • Generic Replacement Chest - The above chest after it has been changed into another logistic chest type
  • Logistic Chest - A vanilla (or other mod) logistic chest

Features

  • Placing 1 or more Generic Chests will open a UI to select which Generic Replacement Chest they will change into
  • While a Generic Chest is in the player's cursor, they can scroll between Generic Replacement Chests (default ALT + Mouse wheel up/down)
  • Blueprints are fully supported
  • Any chest can be copy/pasted onto a Generic or Generic Replacement Chest to change it
  • Uses the Copy/Paste Entity Settings controls
  • Fast replacing a Generic Chest on a Logistic Chest will replace it with the corresponding Generic Replacement Chest

Supported Mods (all dependencies are optional)

  • AAI Containers
  • Angel's Addons - Storage Options
  • Bob's Logistic (logistic chests 2 and 3)
  • Krastorio 2
  • Pyanodons Industry
  • Warehousing (storehouses and warehouses)

Upcoming Features

  • Circuit network support (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=90515 puts a slight wrench in this for now, as they will do not fully work with blueprints until Factorio 1.1)
