Allow Ghost Modules from Module in Hand

TL;DR
When interacting with ghost assembler, allow placing ghost modules in it's module slots even if there's an actual module in hand.

What?
When interacting with ghost assembler, it will not let you place a module into the slot, unless the module in hand is also a ghost. This can be ...

[2.0.20] Incomplete beacon description

The beacon description says it "transmits the effects of modules" with no qualifier on this statement, leading one to believe they support all modules. Nor do the modules themselves state their compatibility with beacons. It's not until a player has laid out their machines and beacons that they ...

Re: AT Station and NO Path

Deleting this station that was not connected to the rail(had just placed it for easy copy/paste of station) solved the problem. Seems quirky for this to break a "No path" condition:

AT Station and NO Path

Is it expected that a AT Station && NO Path interrupt condition would never work? Does the NO Path condition not activate until a train has "left" a station even though it is still sitting at that station trying to path?

All red chest stations are disabled by condition.
All red and blue chest ...

Re: [kovarex] [2.0.11] Interrupt wildcard used to match station name without item inventory presence

Yep, I misunderstood one of the FFF and tried similar "At [circuit wild card]Loading" and "Destination [circuit wildcard icon]Unloading". Obviously I see my error, but would be cool if the "At [wildcard]String" could match and "capture" against station names.

I like these features, but the first ...

Re: Making quality more accessible without reducing its complexity


The problem that I can see with the suggested implementation here is that it doesn't actually change anything about the accessibility of the feature.

Lets say you slap a bunch of quality modules on your wire production for your circuits. Cool; now if you don't fully split them off entirely you ...

Re: Making quality more accessible without reducing its complexity

This is especially problematic for things like copper wires that you produce very close to circuits because you replenish them along the line. You will never get quality intermediates in exactly the needed ratio, so any loops will get clogged eventually if you aren't pulling stuff into chests and ...

More Expressive Combinators

There's alot of scenarios where I have a solid idea of the boolean logic I need to accomplish something, but the lack of expressiveness in combinators makes it very tedious. And I cannot emphasize enough how this tedium is multiplied when you're in space constrained scenarios where you start having ...

Re: server bans Internal IP on banning people

Could be alot of things. Depending on where your VM is hosted, it might be behind some sort of gateway, and the last hop before reaching the server shows the IP address for the gateway backend.

The VM might have a virtual network interface that performs it's own NAT'ing.

If your VM is hosted ...

Re: Corrupt map: Unknown tile 246


Agreed, noone said the game should fix the bitflip, but an option to continue loading with an error tile set at that position would be great. Better than losing the entire save, and should be easy to implement as well.


Backing up a save after a successful load would at least ensure if the game ...

Re: Validate Saves


Hm. I don’t think this a good strategy. I would use it only, if I (as dev) would search for a specific bug. Because this occurs so seldom this extra loading needs a) too much resources and b) doesn’t even guarantee that if it loads it is able to run (happened to me much more often).

Instead I ...
