[Request] Exact Input/Arithmetic Input #49

Open Nallek opened 6 years ago

Nallek commented 6 years ago

I was hoping you'd be able to implement either built-in support for exact (as possible) input based on the various belt-throughput values. E.g. instead of inputting 26.666667 as the amount you'd like per second, entering, say, s (for yellow), f (for fast), and e (for express) which would give a consistent and as-accurate-as-possible value. Alternatively, allow arithmetic input. E.g. instead of inputting 26.666667 you could input (80/3). I do understand that for all intents and purposes, typing in 13.333 or 26.667 is good enough. Still, if it turns out to be a simple implementation then it'd be much appreciated!

Seems quite reasonable indeed. Although I'm not actively playing Factorio, and thus not really active here (I try to at least update recipes and merge pull requests though), if I do this should be rather high on my priority list as it is a rather simple request.
