Overview

When you place blueprints and don't have the required materials, Factorio generates construction alerts. This mod monitors those alerts and automatically creates logistic sections for each planet containing the exact materials needed.

Features

• Automatic Detection - Scans construction alerts every second
• Per-Planet Sections - Separate section for each planet: [planet=nauvis] Construction Alerts, [planet=vulcanus] Construction Alerts, etc.
• Real-Time Updates - Material counts update automatically as you build or place blueprints
• Auto-Cleanup - Sections clear when construction is complete
• Platform Exclusion - Space platforms are excluded (planets only)
• Auto-Recreation - If a section is deleted, it's automatically recreated
• Manual Recovery - Use /recreate-construction-sections command to restore deleted sections

How It Works

1. Every second, the mod checks for construction material shortage alerts
2. Materials are aggregated per planet across all ghost entities
3. Logistic sections are created/updated in your personal logistics and can be removed afterwards
4. Sections are set to inactive so they don't auto-request to your inventory
5. You can use these sections in requester chests, constant combinators, and other entities

Using the Sections

In Requester Chests:
- Open a requester chest's logistics interface
- Select the Construction Alerts section for the desired planet
- The chest will now request those materials

In Constant Combinators:
- Place a constant combinator
- Open its logistics section interface
- Select a Construction Alerts section to output signals

Manual Activation:
- Open your personal logistics
- Find a Construction Alerts section
- Toggle it active if you want materials auto-requested to your inventory

If Sections Are Accidentally Deleted

Run /recreate-construction-sections to restore them
