The signal is the molten iron fluid. The combinator is comparing the melting iron recipe.

Alt-scroll is used to change quality. It works with items in hand, and when selecting crafting recipes.

In the past it also worked when selecting signal values e.g. in decider combinators. In the latest version, it does not work when selecting signals.

I verified that it used to work in months old ...

There are more cases such as these inconsistencies in this reddit post.

Assemblers see their own signals (but not for "set recipe").

Collectors don't see their own signals (as expected).

Inserters see their own signals (as you mentioned).

Requester chests see their own signals.

Here's a save that has the problem for me.

No mods, only Space Age.

It shows 300% = limit correctly on other buildings.

As visible in the screenshot, it shows "Productivity = +1000%", as if it is not limited to +300%. However, the calculated values are appropriate to +300% prod, and so do the experimental results.

I am using pins as a sort of todo list. Reordering them would be incredibly helpful for this.

TL;DR
Automated landfill should not be the default for shift build. It should either be an option, or limited to super-force build, as it was in FFF-383.

Why?
While automated landfill is great when you *want* to build over water or in space, many times it's not wanted. For example:


When ...

TL;DR
The throughput tooltip for crafting machines should allow seconds or minutes.

Why?
Currently, the throughput display is per second. This works great for high throughput buildings and fast recipes, as seen in FFF-426.

TL;DR
When switching recipes automatically, items which are shared between the recipes should remain in the machine


What?
When switching recipes, all ingredients and results are put into the dump inventory and have to be removed before the recipe changes.
Many times, the other recipe uses ...

Neither the tooltip for the solar panel itself nor the suit "Solar panel power" are updated. This is quite confusing on low solar planets e.g. Fulgora with 20% power.

Build a constant combinator with negative values. As seen here, -20 and -20. Create blueprint and try to parameterize. One of the values is correctly shown as -20 and the other is a huge number, probably an underflow.

Adding my +1 to this.

I wanted to use the asteroid catcher both for "read contents" to utilize the big buffer on it, and "set filters" to make it stop working when the system is loaded. When using just one catcher, this is easy. When trying to use many, this requires a combinator for input and ...

I think this is actually expected behavior.
Logistic groups are also shared with constant combinators, which can accept fluids and every other type of signal.
So yes, you can see a request with a request for [green square].

In past versions (pre-release) you needed satellites, which needed accumulators, which needed power poles.
However since that change, indeed it seems you can get softlocked on Vulcanus.

Considering a softlock like this was fixed for Fulgora, I see this similar softlock fixed for Vulcanus as well.

None of these items should ever be in your inventory for long. They take up space, and can be lost when you die or trash your items by mistake.

That's what the blueprint library is for. Press B and put them there. It has a tab for "global" blueprints for your player, and for "current game".

There are many times when I am looking for entities around another entity, e.g. mining area of mining drills or inserters around an assembler.
For this, I have to use various bounding box functions to produce the area from the bounding box or position of the entity.

I suggest that when "area" and ...

TL;DR
Conditions in train/platform schedules should show as clearly satisfied compared to 99%

What?
Progress of conditions currently looks almost the same between full and 99% full, requiring to look closely to see the missing 1%.
When at 100%, the graphic should look differently, and easy to ...

In a mod I am maintaining (FilterHelper), I set logistic section filters by assigning section.filters = new_filters.
On the entity I am updating, the group changes correctly. However, on other entities, the group with the same name does not change.

Changing the group manually after the programmatic ...

TL;DR
The arrow to the pinned object should show when hovering over it, even if it is set to not always show.


What?
When a pin is set to "always show", the arrow and distance appears.
When a pin is set not "always show", the arrow doesn't show. Hovering shows the camera at the pin, but there's ...

Otherwise, hide the pin automatically when you're in the car.

Also, hovering over the pin should show the arrow to the pin, even if it's set not to show.
