Show total number of items in inventory when placing structures (not stack number).

Post by Artman40 »

For an example, when playing conveyor belts, you only see the number of belts in the stack you're holding and it disregards any other stacks you have. Would it be better to show all the belts so you know when you're running out of conveyor belt?

This is a good idea. It can get especially annoying when you're crafting items or getting fed by logistic bots, because you never know how many are really on hand.

I know this has been suggested several times (at least by me), but can't find the topic(s) yet.
IIRC, there was a mod for that back in 0.11, I don't know if it's been updated since.

[Edit] got the mod :) viewtopic.php?f=86&t=8336
[Edit 2] Found the previous suggestion I had in mind : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6823
