Noticed a visual parameterisation bug whist messing with storage chests. Super low priority.
Brief explanation:
The entity tooltip for a filtered storage chest shows an item count on the filter slot, defaulting to 1. When creating a parameterised blueprint and selecting constant 1 as a parameter (which doesn't show up as an option unless it exists elsewhere in the blueprint), the storage chest filter count inherits whatever value is set for that parameter, without suggesting anywhere that the value can even be parameterised. This doesn't have any effect on the function of the storage chest.
I would expect this count to not show in the UI at all, as it has no effect on the function of the storage chest. Given that it does, I definitely wouldn't expect it to change based on parameterisation of different constants - it should remain at 1. If it is supposed to be shown, and it being parameterisable is intended, I would expect it to explicitly show up in the blueprint parameterisation menu.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Place a storage chest and requester chest.
2. Filter the storage chest to iron plate. Add a request to the requester chest for 1 copper plate. (Choice of items doesn't matter, but the request value of 1 does.)
3. Use the blueprint planner to create a blueprint of the two chests. In the blueprint parameterisation menu, set the value 1 as a parameter. Note that the on-hover dialog shows only the requester chest as a parameter source.
4. Paste the blueprint in the world, choosing 10 as the parameter value. (Any non-1 number works.)
5. Note that the entity tooltip shows the storage chest as having a filter of 10 iron plates.
Bug encountered on Steam Deck (SteamOS) playing vanilla + Space Age. I can upload a save game if required - I figured the reproduction steps are clear and simple enough. I can reproduce in 2 mins from an empty sandbox save. Screenshots below.
Thanks for the great game!

Re: [2.0.32] Storage chest filter quantity is silently parameterised
Most likely the storage chest ignores value on the filter slot so this would be a fine as is. Just in case i decided to fix this for 2.0.42.
