SoundAccent::audible_distance_modifier not in documentation

I was looking at how the foundry did the sound waypoints I remember hearing in a FFF. Just to see if I could somehow piggyback off that system to do smoke (doesn't look possible).

I noticed that the base game defines an `audible_distance_modifier` on the SoundAccent s it provides, which is missing ...

Trains in Factorio have never worked this way. They don't add stations themselves as waypoints, and they don't spontaneously reverse direction.

However, you can add the station to the train schedule yourself with no leaving conditions, and ...

[Klonan] [2.0.11] New cutscenes don't use previous waypoint zoom value

In Factorio 1.1 when overwriting the cutscene controller with new waypoints, if the first waypoint had `zoom = nil` then the zoom value from the previous waypoint would be used. In 2.0.11 this behavior has changed, so if the first waypoint has no zoom the camera will go way in.

Re: [1.1.107] Biter group stuck after pathing near water

I can reproduce the same error message by waiting for the code to run (including choosing waypoints), and then use /editor to add a bunch of water on/near the waypoint.

Here is a save that will reproduce the issue (game.print is called with the coordinates of the stuck unit group when it happens).
