Logistic Request Manager (continued)

LogisticRequestManager

A factorio mod for managing logistic request presets.

Original Mod by Goalie: Logistic-Request-Manager

I was asked to re-upload the mod with my fixes for the original mod to have the download available ingame, so here it is. Credits and my thanks go to Goalie for the original mod!

What does it do?

The mod offers the possibility to save or load presets of logistic requests. It is also possible to request all items required to build a given blueprint. Saved presets can be exported as strings (similar to blueprints) and exchanged or re-imported. This function is compatible with serveral other mods, for example Personal Logistics Import/Export

Access to the GUI is available via the logistic bot icon in the top-left of the screen or a short-cut, once personal logistics is researched:

Version 0.18.x only

• Requests to chests can only contain 30 different item-types.

Therefor presets that contain more than 30 different item-types will be rejected. If the limit is not exceeded, but the requests are spread out over more than the first 30 slots all empty slots will be ignored and the requests will be squished together.

Version 1.1.x only

• Vehicles as the spidertron can be used in the same way as the player-character.

Configuration

A few things can be configured:

user-specific settings:

character as default target

This setting allows to interact with the character when no other entity that supports logistic requests is open. It can be changed anytime.

force GUI creation

This setting enforces the creation of the GUI. CAN be done by command as well.

hide toggle button

This setting hides the toggle button:

creat default presets:

This setting allows to disable the default-preset 'clear all'. Disabling this can improve the startup of the map. Only relevant on player creation or when loading a game where LRM was active in quite an old version.

This setting allows to disable the default-preset 'keep all'. Disabling this can improve the startup of the map. Only relevant on player creation or when loading a game where LRM was active in quite an old version.

allow constant combinators as target

This setting allows to interact with constant combinators similar to chests. This allows to push requests into the logic circuitry.

append added requests at the end

If this is enabled, requets that are added to existing ones will be created in a new line after the last existing request if no existing request can be extended. Otherwise new requests will be squeezed in wherever possible.

always add requests from blueprints to existing requests

If this setting is enabled blueprints will not overwrite existing requests regardless of the corresponding modifier settings below.

create unlimited requests from blueprints

If this is enabled, blueprint requets will be created with an unlimited request if added to player or vehicles as the spidertron. Otherwise the modifier-setting for unlimited chets below will be used.

modifier to add requests to existing requets

This setting allows to add new requests to existing ones instead of overwriting them.

modifier to save requests from chests with unlimited max

By default requests from entities with only one setting for requests will be limited to that value. This modifier allows to change this limit to infinity.

modifier to round up requests to their stacksize
