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?

g longer time for arrow

21 days ago
(updated 21 days ago)

Is there a way to increase the time that the arrow pointing to where the item is is displayed? Currently it's like 5 seconds and then disappears. I would prefer to have the direction arrow pointing to be on there indefinitely until I hit a key to remove the overlay as an option. Hopefully it's possible. I have to sometimes search again and again.

Also, is there a way to have "check / uncheck all"? Oftentimes I need to search for everything for that item but sometimes I just want to search for something specific like a train logic. Thanks!

Oh, one other request if I may, Is there a way of searching under "distance" from camera view (map view) of where I'm currently viewing in map mode rather than distance from player? This is super useful if I'm viewing my base in map mode and I know the item is somewhere close to that area (or maybe i want to check network settings in group of train stops only to see if I already set up that item there). Super useful!

  1. Don’t forget you can right-click on the result to refresh the arrow without it opening the result on the map :) There is also already a “Highlight duration” mod setting. Set it to 0 for ‘infinite’

  2. Good idea, I just didn’t want to clutter the interface. Ideally it would support shift-click on a checkbox to deselect all other checkboxes but I don’t think the API supports that. Unlikely to change any time soon but I’ll add it to the list :)

  3. Yeah I hadn’t thought there was any use to ‘distance from map view’ but it is very easy to add another option in the ‘sort by’ drop down for this so maybe some point it will be added
