In-game Search (CNTRL-F) does not list Uranium-235/238

Post by rmmfac »

I'm pretty sure that the uranium nuggets, Uranium-235 and Uranium-238, should be findable using CNTRL-F. But it does not see them in my chests and in fact those two items do not show up when I type "uranium". Other uranium entries appear, like uranium ore, uranium fuel cell, etc.
My version is 2.0.60.

Which search? In the recipe GUI? In the map?

Please provide a save file and steps to reproduce wheat you believe is not working.

Unless it's changed, in-game search doesn't find anything in chests.

We could consider to add more to the search, like the locations of logistic chests containing some item, but we decided to not go down this rabbit hole for now. Mainly because it would naturally lead to the need of making all items in containers searchable, and it would become a performance nightmare, not even talking about the possible huge spam of the search results.

Works properly for me. In the logistics map view (ctrl+L), then search (ctrl+F), typing "uran". Including highlighting the exact chests on the map. Version 2.0.60.

Ugh, I was not aware that CNTRL-F is also the search keystroke in the Logistics remote view. I thought it was only in the World View thingy...the search box in the upper right-hand corner of the screen while in World View. Sorry.

Also, it was pointed out to me by a Discord user that NO item is listed in chests...I assumed that when I saw uranium ore in Search that it was pointing at the uranium ore I have in chests. I didn't think to click on those entries...if I had, I would have seen that those entries were PATCHES, not mined ore. Again, sorry. I guess I am too used to the Factory Search mod.

I tried to delete this bug report before you guys caught me but I was too late. 8-P
