b [Not a bug] Displayed stack size wrong

5 years ago

The number of items displayed is wrong for me.

I do have Big Bags(https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BigBags) along HandyHands installed, which increases the stack size of items.

When I increase the amount of items to be crafted from 0 to 0.2 stacks, it shows that it will craft 200 items. Instead it crafts 20 transport belts. I am still in the early game so I prefer 20 and not 200.

I am struggeling to decide what the desired/expected outcome is when the stack size is increased since 200 transport belts are alot at the beginning ... I do prefer the smaller stacksize since 200 transportbelts are alot at the beginning.

Gosh, forgot to set this up as a Bug Thread instead of a General Thread.

Not a bug. This was the requested by another Big Bags user 2 years ago. I also struggle with what the expected behaviour is. It's kind of wrong and some dislike it, but most would probably really dislike the smallest auto craft size being 100 items or something. I would have to transition to an absolute count instead of stack size multiplier to make something work as expected and as people want it to at the same time for those with increased stack sizes. It's just one of those things that I'll do soon TM if I feel like this mod interaction is something I want to focus my precious time on q:

So it is not a bug that it displays that it will craft 200 transport belts, but only crafts 20?

I love that it only crafts 20, but it should show exactly that and not 200.

btw I love this mod!

I do have an idea for this mod. Is it possible to show the crafting count for each item in the crafting bar? something like this: https://imgur.com/a/9SBzYP7

This means it will craft transport belts until you have 20.

Glad you like it!

Don't get your hopes up. Probably impossible for anything with a stack size > 1. But I'll look into it.

I checked the API and could only find info on how to do it on custom GUIs. Nothing on the quick bar gives you access to the GUI itself so it's not possible at all.
