What is this mod?
Have you ever been in a situation where you suddenly find out that your logistics chain has stuttered because some drone port has run out of fuel? Most probably, espacially when changing drone fuel types. But when you enter UI all the status icons blend into a single mess, and you can't even distinct statuses of all drone ports in the list without hovering the cursor over them.While some issues can't be resolved very simply, others can. Like getting Drone Port UI enhanced!
This mod enhances Drone Port's UI for simpler errors handling and ports view/search. To be more specific:
- Status icons will be more diverse so you can tell what status it is without hovering cursor over the port list entry.
- Icon displays of these entries are dynamic now too. In vanilla they only get updated when switching UI tabs or when search text gets changed by player.
- All drone port lists are now scrollable! And as such the limit display has been increased from 13 ports to 4096. P.S. Don't actually build 4096 drone ports for display, the game gives out a lag upon first switch to port list tab.
- There is now a toggle in all ports list which filters out entries to only display ones with fuel issues.
- Drone port lists are now sorted out by Ports' names.

Compatibility
The mod doesn't include any radically new code, systems or logic, and thus, is fully compatible with other mods and multiplayer!---

Frequently Asked Questions
Drone Ports Plus not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Drone Ports Plus has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Drone Ports Plus causing crashes in multiplayer – solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Drone Ports Plus v1.1.4 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Drone Ports Plus compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Drone Ports Plus uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
