Factory Search


Search your factory for items, fluids, entities, signals, tags and more with Shift + F. Displays a list of matching buildings: clicking on a result opens it in the map. Can search all planets/surfaces (Space Age, Space Exploration, etc). Alt + Shift + Click on anything (e.g. built entity, inventory item, recipe) to open the search with that item selected. Similar to BeastFinder and Where is it Made?

i [Completed-1.5.0] Reload button

Implement a button to refresh the search!
Sometimes I use this mod to search for containers of some items and then I pickup all of then... But then the result remains... I need to search again to find updated results!

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm aware that I'll need to add this at some point. For now, you can reopen the item selector and pick the same item again, or toggle a search option on and off.

Another nice thing to make this more "ooh, they tought about that!" Would be that, as long as the search ui is open/results are displayed you listen to events for emptying chests/filling chests, automatically updating your list with that information.

There's no events for recipes changing, items being put into chests (other than by the player), or signals being emitted, so unfortunately this isn't possible. Only doing it for certain types of changes would be inconsistent, and also quite complex to implement without rerunning the entire search again (which would freeze the game for another ~2 seconds, also not good!). Secondly, I wouldn't really want the buttons jumping around whilst you're trying to click on them (like the production graph GUI...).

Reload button is now released in v1.5.0. Thanks for the suggestion!
