Logistics system, storage..
I have been play for a while now, more farming than trying to go for endgame. So I have over a thousand logistics storage chests which I will have to expand very soon. With all the items I have accumulated, is there a way to view all the items in the logistics network at once? I would like to know what I'm low on. But can only see like 4 rows or the top 20 or most abundant items. Any one know ....much appreciated! I also host if you care to join on a 300+ hour map. Add me.



Edit~4/18/16 I have figured out how to view majority or all of the items in the Logistics System! I have changed my UI Size with plently to spare and can see a great amount of items. Thank you "Warlord" for the tip!

You can construct an indicator system with comparators and lights.

If you full screen the program, you can see more of the UI. If you are already full screen, then it is based on your resolution. As of now, the only way to expand the size is to have a bigger monitor.

I have a bigger monitor, and I still have things go off the screen too. I ended up only using logistics chests for things the logistics robots need to move around. I don't use it, for example, for lamps, underground pipes/belts, etc.
47 in screen here and still cant see all the stored crap -_-

I would get the warehouse mod. I had over 200 chests down to like 10 warehouses now made the logistics of my entire line more effective.

The physical size doesn't matter, the resolution does. 1920x1080 will start to cut off your storage if it is beyond 10 lines long, you can see just over half of the 11th line.

You can use the scroll wheel to zoom out, to a point.

Yes, but that doesn't effect the logistic storage itemized view at all.

I'm using advanced logistics mod which allows you to list items per chest, search them or view them remotely.

You can also reduce the UI scale under graphic options. Just change it from default (100%) to default and set as low as possible (50%) You should be able to see ererything now, unless you really have a siht ton of crap in your chests.

The wharehouse mod is where it's at! I don't mind making the logistics chest but the wharehouse saves so much space and really lets you centralize your storage.

If you hover your mouse over a logistics chest or a roboport it will show you (on the right hand sid of the screen) the total amount per resourse in your logistics network and the total amount of robots in the robotic network, respectivly.

This is true. However if you are playing at 1920x1080 resolution then you can only see 11 lines of info.
