b Allow switching research doesn't work

10 months ago

I have "Allow switching research" disabled, and it still switches research and omits my own queue?

Example: I have manually queued Logistics, Electric Mining Drill and Radar. When Logistics finished it started researching Gun Turrets instead of my finishing my queue first.

It works, but I have received feedback that the way it works is unintuitive and im thinking of how to change how it works...

"Allow switching research" means the mod is allowed to switch the current research, when you change settings in the mod (for example allowed science packs).

Currently it only ever manages the first slot of the research queue, so basically unless you disable the mod, the research queue will not be processed.

This will have to change, unfortunately its not easy to manage the last slot of the queue, but i will have to think of something to make it work.

Oh, I thought it means that it will not touch queue and research whatever is in queue at the moment and only after queue is finished it will auto-research.

I haven't looked in factorio api but I'd assume its possible to either
a) check if queue is empty and then auto-research if it is
b) (assuming there's a trigger) hook up to a trigger that fires when research is finished to check if there's something else in queue

I already do a+b :)

But yeah, I will take a good sleep and look at what can be done tomorrow evening.

I published a version that manages the last element of the research queue now, instead of the first one.

plz try it and give feedback if it works more like you expected.
