Changing the UI

[Tenebrous]

Hi there,

Just a quick question as I'm relatively new to Factorio - is it possible to alter the way the current UI behaves/looks via a mod?

Examples:

• Add buttons to existing 'windows'
• Change the layout / (default) position of existing windows

Would it be easier just to override the built-in stuff? Is that possible?

I introduced a new player yesterday and sat with him a little while he figured stuff out, and I noticed that there's room for a lot of improvement - so I was thinking of mocking up some changes to see how they pan out, and if successful present them to you guys to rip apart

Thanks!

Currently I do not believe that modifying or replacing the GUIs are possible...You could mock up some changes in an image editor and post them for people (and the devs) to discuss of course.

I think I'd just come to that conclusion Will probably work on a UI mock up sometime.

Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem, sorry I couldn't say "yes" though.

Will probably work on a UI mock up sometime.

I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with
