Also would like to add two similar bug reports, viewtopic.php?t=130810 and viewtopic.php?t=132555

If a mod sets "expansion_shaders_required": true in info.json any simple-entity-with-owner that uses animations and has either draw_as_glow or draw_as_light as true doesn't glow.

I have an example mod that runs the following code in the data stage:
data:extend({
{
type = "simple-entity-with ...

One thing I'd like to add: for 'Read network contents', add a tick-box to exclude stuff in buffer chests . More than once, I've wondered why my buffer chests aren't getting any of a certain item, only to realize I set my mall to stop producing that item once I have a given amount of it in the ...

TL:DR
The options when connecting roboports to the circuit network feel outdated and lack the preciseness found on other buildings, freshening it up to 2.1s standards would go a very long way and enable players exact control over more aspects of their factory.

What?
This is the current circuit ...

I do agree this needs to be addressed for new players, I know myself two people who quit the game early due to spawning in a desert. Having a chance of your first game ever have more attacks than a deathworld without clarifying to the player why is just not good.

My suggestion is a new option for ...

I was told to report this on behalf of several others, not even sure myself if it qualifies as a bug but anyhow;

If large amounts of items with equipment grids such as modular armor or above is created, the electric network ms usage spikes due to the equipment grids being simulated even when empty ...

What did you do? / What happened?
I was looking through the spidertron graphics for my mod and noticed the map icon sprite looked a bit off, so I checked in game and saw that it is indeed a bit askew.

Normally I would add more info but due to the nature of this I don ...

just gonna +1 this because god it'd be so useful

Having read a bit through the different proposals I can say that in my opinion the only one that makes sense so far is letting machines use any quality that is at least good enough as ingredient. Downgrading quality just doesnt make any sense why would you want to do that. In reality a better ...

1/ productivity-quality exploit. During development there was an option for any quality recipe where a base rolled quality was lowest quality of provided ingredients. There was however exploit when using productivity modules: a machine could be fed normal quality ingredients that would "charge ...

In fluid.lua within the space-age folder, holmium solution is the only fluid defined with a R, G, or B value above 1 which makes the game divide each RGB value by 255, resulting in a dark blue color.

And here I am also joining the exclusive group of name changers.

"Izzabelle", cause my current name is abhorrent.

I was experimenting with the early stages of a mod that lets you "domesticate" pentapods, and found out that whether the leg rotates with the body or not is hardcoded depending on if it's a SpiderVehiclePrototype or SpiderUnitPrototype. More control over this would be excellent, as I can see plenty ...

Great looking robot improvements, just one question. Will the roboport robot requests be configurable with circuits?

Rails and some related items can only be moved along a "subgrid" which consists of 2x2 sized tiles. When a snap to grid blueprint would place rails not aligned to the subgrid the blueprint is slightly shifted.

Now this is dope.
Now my only question is why the top right octo claw thing doesn't have anything that punts unwanted stuff into space.

and also what new train stuff is coming, i need more train control
