Space Platform Organizer - Enhanced
The remote view lists every space platform in one endless row. This mod turns that list into a panel with named, color-coded folders, so you find the right platform in seconds, even with dozens of them.
The five things you will notice first
- Folders and subfolders with colors, icons and notes, plus favorites, "Recently visited" and search
- Status at a glance: colored status dots, filter buttons (in transit / in orbit / paused / no schedule) and a status bar per folder
- Live preview when you hover a platform: route, progress, speed, weight, arrival time and main cargo
- Create several platforms at once with a ship blueprint book and a live material check
- Backup, recycle bin and automatic backup file, so a mistake never costs you your folders
Sorting and organizing
- Folders and one level of subfolders, custom colors, icons and notes, a colored stripe and a status bar per folder
- Favorites, "Recently visited", search, view by folder or by location
- Sorting A-Z / Z-A with natural numbers and Roman numerals, by build progress, or your own custom order; optionally symbols in names count when sorting
- Auto-grouping by keywords with an editable rules window; new platforms are sorted automatically or offered an assign dialog
- Optional: folders, favorites and a custom order for planets
- Delete platforms from the Manage window, after a confirmation that lists their names
Status, markers and preview
- Status filter buttons next to the search field, combinable, or as one button that cycles through the filters
- A colored status dot in front of every platform; warning icons for paused platforms and platforms without a schedule (optional)
- Build progress bar with time estimate for platforms under construction
- Finished platforms without a schedule get their own group, so you notice them at a glance
- A marker for the platform you are looking at and a player figure for the planet or platform your character stands on
- Preview on hover (can be switched off)
Make it look the way you want
The settings (gear button next to the search field) have three pages for the display:
- Hide the status dot, the location and status column, headings, colored stripes or the scrollbar; or put the status dot at the right end of the row
- Set the indent of subfolders and the row height
- Compact header: view, sorting and filter in one row
- Toolbar (search, view, sorting, filters) can be hidden completely; the gear button moves to the title bar
- Footer with small icon buttons (Manage, +), placed left, in the middle or on the right
- Highlight the whole row or only the button under the mouse (reacts instantly on servers with a higher ping)
- Hide the panel in remote view when zooming in, like the game's own list
- One button resets all display options; sliders for panel height and width (in percent of the screen)
New platforms
- Extended "Add space platform" dialog: up to 10 platforms at once, consecutive numbering, target folder, ship icon and start planet
- Ship book: up to 20 ship blueprints per savegame (from your hand, a blueprint book, your personal storage or pasted text), reorder, rename, preview the parts per quality level, hand the book out as a real blueprint book and read it in again in other savegames
- Automatic ship blueprint on new platforms as soon as their hub exists
- Live material check: shows whether the logistic network of the chosen planet holds enough material for the selected ship and lists what is missing
- A "Space map" row at the top of the list, like in the original list, and a "To folders" button on the original list
Backup
- Export folders, rules, assignments, favorites, icons, notes and panel settings as text; import with a preview and a choice per section (skip / add / replace)
- Recycle bin for deleted folders (restore with rules and assignments) and an automatic backup file (every 30 minutes, can be turned off)
Good to know
- Requires Space Age. Open the panel with the shortcut bar button, Ctrl+Shift+P or /spo.
- Works with Factorio 2.0 and 2.1: the mod page offers a file for each game version, both with the same features. Support for Factorio 2.0 will end soon; the 2.1 file stays the main version, and the older 2.0 files remain available for download.
- Build progress, time estimate and the material check are approximations; the check only compares with the current stock of the logistic network and does not count items on their way.
