Logistic Storage Tooltip

See logistic network stock by quality while you build - without opening chests or the logistics GUI.

Inspired by the forum "Logistic storage" mockup / Set-request quality breakdown.

Features

  • Companion panel - stock for the cursor item, selected entity, or an inventory item pinned with Control+Shift+K.

  • Quality bar above the hotbar when you hold an item to place - real item icons, quality pips, and network counts. Click a quality to switch to a placement ghost (never spawns free items).

  • Storage browser (Control+Shift+L or the shortcut) - searchable list of logistic storage for the active scope. Click an item or quality to add a personal logistic request.

  • Entity tooltip lines on Factorio 2.1.7+ - native "Logistic storage" fields on the selected entity.

  • Network scope - entire surface (planet below when on an orbiting platform), network at player/view, or network at selected entity.

  • Works on planets and space platforms.

How to unlock

  1. Research Logistic storage overlay (after Logistic system - half that tech's cost, including Space Age science packs).

  2. Turn on your personal roboport, or enter remote / map overview.

Settings

  • Show quality bar overlay (default on) - turn off if you only want companion / tooltips / browser

  • Show logistic storage companion (default on)

  • Logistic network scope - surface / local / selected

  • Refresh interval while the UI is open

  • Quickbar row count / tool-window beside hotbar (for quality-bar placement - Factorio does not expose these to mods)

  • X/Y offsets; drag the striped handle to fine-tune (right-click handle to reset)

Limitations

  • Mods cannot inject live counts into vanilla item tooltips (inventory / Set request). Pin with Control+Shift+K, or use Set request which already shows logistic storage natively.

  • Entity tooltip injection needs Factorio 2.1.7+. On 2.0 you still get the companion, quality bar, and browser.

Compatibility

  • Factorio 2.0 and 2.1 (separate portal packages per release; same codebase)

  • Optional: Quality / Space Age
