i Hiding quality tooltips

12 days ago

Hi, thanks for the mod! I noticed lots of items/entities still have tooltips that say things like "More energy can be stored at higher qualities"

For my modpack (which includes your mod) I changed all those tooltips by putting this in the locale file:

[quality-tooltip]
energy-capacity=Quality is disabled.
reduced-energy=Quality is disabled.
input-flow-limit=Quality is disabled.
output-flow-limit=Quality is disabled.
maximum-power-input=Quality is disabled.
maximum-power-output=Quality is disabled.
wire-reach=Quality is disabled.
supply-area=Quality is disabled.
fluid-consumption=Quality is disabled.
fluid-output=Quality is disabled.
rotation-speed=Quality is disabled.
mining-drill-resource-drain=Quality is disabled.
science-pack-drain=Quality is disabled.
continuous-radar-coverage-distance=Quality is disabled.
exploration-radar-coverage-distance=Quality is disabled.
heat-output=Quality is disabled.
grid-size=Quality is disabled.
personal-roboport-max-robot-count=Quality is disabled.
increases=Quality is disabled.
robot-recharge-rate=Quality is disabled.
inventory-size-bonus=Quality is disabled.
inventory-size=Quality is disabled.
crafting-speed=Quality is disabled.
affected=Quality is disabled.
movement-speed-bonus=Quality is disabled.
spoils-slower=Quality is disabled.
beacon-effectivity=Quality is disabled.

(Tried putting an empty string there but that makes it show an empty box for the tooltip.)

But things still had the little diamond icon, so I hid that by copying the file Factorio/data/core/graphics/icons/mip/quality-info-blue.png into my mod, filling it with transparency, and then doing this:

data.raw.sprite["quality_info"].filename = "__LegendarySpaceAge__/graphics/misc/empty-quality-icon.png"

Up to you whether you want to put those changes in this mod too.

I have tested this and it looks good to my eyes, I encourage adding this code.

@StephenB I put this into a PR. Curious, how did you find the tooltips? I see it here but can't find it elsewhere.

I think I just searched one of the tooltip strings over all files in Factorio/data folder since they have to be somewhere in a locale file.
