TL;DR what
Hi, i would like to suggest adding 3 buttons to the Mod Settings GUI screen, so that we can easily Find, Collapse and Expand the sections within each mod. This is for the screen that appears from the main menu after launching the program, but also for within the actual game we are playing.Why ?
players will usually be adding more and more mods to their game, either to try, or to permanently compliment vanilla factorio.but each mod can have some settings, and some have "a lot" of settings.
The "FIND" button, would be similar to other gui screens in factorio, with the little magnifying glass icon in the top right of the window, which can also be activated via Control+F
The "+" and "-" buttons would allow us to Expand, and Collapse all of the individual entries which are part of a particular mod. The mod name in bold would still be visible with the + and - icons, but all of the 10 or 100 entries in some cases, will be collapsed until the "+" icon is clicked again.
please see some screenshots to show this as examples:
and if the "-" button is clicked in the Overmind mod example, all of its 100 entries would be collapsed, because when people set their options, they usually will not need to change anything, until next time the mod is updated for example. Another cool feature would be to (only) have the small "+" / "-" button, for every mod larger than x lines, (to avoid showing the icons for no reason), or to also have option to always expand any previously minimised mod.settings.group, IF that mod has just been installed or updated. (this way, players can add or update their mods, and then when they click to view the Mod Settings window, they can easily find and see the settings for any new or updated mod, because its settings.group will have been expanded and visible).
thanks for rsedding (i mean thanks for Reading)
