In 2.0, marking an entity for deconstruction instantly pushes out the fluids it contains into the connected fluid segments, and then disconnects the entity from the fluid segments. Only after this, `on_marked_for_deconstruction` is fired.

As part of my mod Undeletable Fluids , I need to know how ...

+1 this is still annoying after playing a long while.

A strange thing: this is already the case with signals.

If you change the signal of a constant combinator (for example), the selection will default to what it currently is. So you can easily switch from an uncommon iron plate signal to a rare ...

Bumping this thread. Belts can defend against asteroids better than walls, that cannot be intended behaviour.

+1. Factoriopedia is unusable for mods that add content.

This is Factoriopedia with Pyanodons.

Ash is one of the first items you get in the game, and it's only used in a couple ways at the beginning. Yet Factoriopedia shows me a hundred icons. How do I ...

It's not only about scientific notation, the field also supports functions .

abs, log2, sign, max, min.
By chance, no function uses the letter E!
There's also "The property where the expression is used may provide variables.", but ...

This also affects the Jetpack mod.
In 2.0, changing controller resets the zoom. Since LuaPlayer::zoom is write-only, we cannot read the original value to reset the zoom back to how it was before the controller change.

What?
As of 2.0, if you try to confirm a number input field (such as logistic requests count) by pressing e, it will type an e in the field instead. This is because Factorio now supports scientific notation (e.g. 4e3 = 4000)

I would like to drop this support to return to the original behavior ...

For some reason this is fixed manually in Space Age: I guess we can do the same in Alien Biomes.

- Added optional tile_condition to the place_as_tile, which allows to specify explicit list of tiles it can be built over.

This new field is not visible in the in-game prototype viewer.

A small thing in favour of "Logistics N" is that it displays a little digit that shows which belt tier this is, which I find satisfying.

+1, was going to make my own thread.

I don't understand the "you're supposed to automate this with circuits" response, as far as I know that's not possible.

Let a click on a recipe instantly choose that recipe. If I want to change the quality level, I can do it first, through the dropdown or the alt+shift+scroll hotkey.
Let the recipe selector UI remember the last quality used instead of defaulting to normal, to reduce even further the number of ...

I noticed this too, though it seems to be about the number of layers rather than using "icons" specifically.
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=117258

Reproduction:


Download AAI Containers
Mod setting "Show the container size number in the icon" is on by default. The steel chest icon has 2 layers, and the logistic chests icons have 3 layers.
Open an icon selector (e.g. new space platform button). The steel-chest is not in the list of icons ...

It's not an "idea or suggestion" either so what is the best place for it?
