Lava reflections made no sense whatsoever. It's nice to see them removed.

Also,

Interestingly, there are articles that state that lava does reflect light (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/80473/lava-flows-on-tolbachik-volcano)

The way they use "reflect" in that article, is different ...

prototypes.max_beacon_supply_area_distance measures the max distance a beacon can affect a building from the edge of the beacon. it would be much more convenient if it were from the center of the beacon, so that it isn't necessary to know the bounding box of the beacon when figuring out what ...

I like this change.
When you realize that whole countries have just a single pipline or two, and millions of people are served from this single pipline - for all intents and purposes, the stuff is "teleported" from source to destination.


and whenever I drive by an IRL refinery complex, I only ...

TL;DR
Add a "trim" to most machines where quality does something important, to help distinguish them in a more diegetic fashion.


What?
Quality, without the little dots, is utterly unreadable. I also think that the quality dots add visual clutter. So, I suggest this:

I don't like the new system. It reduces design complexity in the game significantly. You know, the thing I play the game for. I don't need to think when placing pipes anymore. And, unlike *some* people, I believe that's a *bad thing*. I took pride in getting my reactors to work with the constrained ...

Context: I was searching for "hide-alt-info," but it didn't show up. This was confusing. I think would make sense to have the flags show up in the search under their respective types.

Here's the type of behavior I would expect/like to see:

Prevent shift-left-click on power poles from removing cross-surface wire connections. Players can't connect power poles between different surfaces through regular means themselves, so they shouldn't be able to disconnect inter-surface connections either. In Space Exploration and Power Overload, for ...

I would also like to express a desire for this behavior to be changed. There are some recipes in Space Exploration that can produce more than the stack size of the item in a single recipe cycle, and will stall the machine. I find this behavior very frustrating.

Hello, can some documentation be added for how much crafting machines will fill their output fluidboxes before stopping? For context, I was looking at how some crafting machines in space exploration interact with their output fluidboxes, and I found that some recipes ignore the fluidbox size and ...

When a tech switch to a leveled technology happens while the lab gui is open, the tech shown in the lab has an incorrect level and incorrect cost.

In the video, I use the research queue to switch the techs without closing the lab gui, and you can see that the tech goes to ...

I figured it out. I was deepcopying explosive-cannon-projectile and changing it's range_modifier, because I was under the impression that the distance that a projectile could travel was determined by the range of the turret that fired it. After changing the range of the gun that I was using, I found ...

Story time: I was messing with the True Nukes mod, and found that the nuclear cannon shells (which have a range modifier of 200%) were not actually firing any farther than the normal cannon shells.
So, I made a mod that takes the normal cannon shells and adds range modifiers, to see if it was just ...
