Actually implementing it was a rollercoaster primarily because of how barebones Factorio's GUI manipulation is. I'm happy with the end result, but there definitely are worthwhile features missing, like being able to:

  • Wait for specific asteroid chunk from collector
  • Target specific inserter(s) when waiting for item to get taken out of building
  • Select item recycling recipe, not just scrap recycling. This is currently a GUI limitation or bug, but a workaround is to pipette a recipe, which I haven't had time to do yet

If you think of any nice to haves, please let me know here. OP post will be updated as time goes by.

Wonderful mod, thanks!

Two questions:
- Is it possible to follow a logistics bot, rather than the item it's carrying?
- Would it be possible to change the main view to follow rather than have an overlay camera window? I'd love to be able to interact with the item being followed and entities around it.
