Re: Requesting O(1) lookup of entities by type or name
Still wishing for this feature. It would simplify so many mods, and eliminate bugs in a lot of them.

Re: Some identifier linking mined entity events with mined item events
Yes, but when that event fires the entity is still in the world, so none of my checks are valid yet. I need to run my checks after the entity is destroyed, and on_player_mined_item seems to be the only event that triggers at that point.

Re: Quality level names poll
I want five names with sequential starting letters, preferably not starting at A or ending at Z to allow for expansion later.

Re: Train scheduling 2.0
FYI you can overlap train stations already. I do this in some of my tiny rail grid factories. Put 3 stops on the same rail right next to each other. Name them "Iron Dropoff" "Stone Dropoff" etc. Then line the track with inserters to unload all the possible wagon locations. Balanc...

Re: Train Mods Roundup
I'm making a Fast Trains mod. will you are it here when I am done with it and it has been uploaded to the mod portal? Probably not. This list covers mostly mods that provide new UI and gameplay mechanics. There are far too many mods that just modify/add train entities to ever cover with a writeup l...

Re: Is a train junction parallel multiplexer possible?
It's easy to avoid collisions, by having chain signals prior to the junction, and rail signals after the junction. That "locks" the junction itself, for one train at a time. The question is: is it possible to build a MUX junction, that multiple trains can use simultaneously (assuming they...

Add scenarios to factorio-data git repo
I found myself asking when the pvp scenario was added and when certain parts of it were changed, then discovered that https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/tree/master/base only has migrations and prototypes. It would be nice if scenarios were tracked there as well. campaigns and tutorials would be ...

Re: Specify meaning of alternative numbered key "tuple"s for struct types
I understand the order answer for the second example, but not for the first. Do you mean that a tuple that takes one string and one number will always be the first string and first number in the sorted fields?

Indicate unique fields or combinations of fields
I think that prototype type and prototype name form a unique key. If so, it would be helpful to have that called out in the API docs, ditto for other similar unique single fields or combinations of types/fields.

ItemProductPrototype :: struct or {ItemID, uint16} https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/ItemProductPrototype.html When using the `{ItemID, uint16}` version, what does the second value represent?

Quality combinators calculate multiple times per tick
TL;DR Instead of one operation per tick, quality combinators could run faster. What ? Currently every combinator runs one operation per tick. My idea is for combinators with higher than normal quality to run multiple iterations of their assigned operation. Adding a single such combinator would have...

Re: Allow rail signals closer together
Placing two signals adjacent that DON'T produce distinct rail block break locations would be a different use case. Perhaps that would still be illegal. Perhaps it would produce a zero-length block. Perhaps it would be handled as a new case. This is the case that's more relevant to tiling blueprint c...

Re: Allow rail signals closer together
The signals on the middle and bottom rail produce the same breaks, but aren't allowed to be placed on the same rail.

It's hard to tell from all the screenshots what exactly you're referring to. Can you highlight one of the problematic things?
