TL;DR: Let roboports be disabled by a circuit condition, or let their robot requests be set from circuit signals.
What I'm doing
I have a roboport near my mall set to request 50 bots so an inserter can pull them out into a chest, where they get cycled out for MK2s.
The problem
Once that chest ...

They still need to work out the fluid mechanics kinks out first. AFAIK, that's the biggest thing holding up most players from upgrading to 2.1 now.

I love this a lot, even the colors.

I'd say instead of stacking 90k+ items on one tile, when the dropped items overflow they should stack at either a random tile or sequentially out, trying to avoid being behind entities at all costs.

I would love to see for the ability to disable alerts for specific entities/types. Like I don't want to see alerts for destroyed walls or mines, they're just noise to me, but anything else, yeah I wanna know if they're in my base.

I did notice today that I had to relog in. I've been logged in for months with no issue visiting several times a week. Today, I was logged out.

There's an alert API. Why don't you just read the alerts?

This is buggy behavior, and was definitely one of the more annoying encounters I had with trying to use the system. I've seen several YouTubers who have encountered the same things to spin into circles trying to find workarounds re-tweaking numbers, which makes them unable to set sane defaults ...

Michael Hendricks must be grinding his teeth having to learn all the new algorithms, after everything he's done after spending hundreds of hours reverse-engineering every micro-tick of biter AI, map chunk candidate scoring, and expansion mechanics down to the exact pixel.
Knowing him, though, he's ...

Shouldn't they fan out around the landing pad?

This may not always be something that the user wants. I know plenty of dual stations serving 2 liquids, and merging them together is not ideal. Also, storage tanks are not something that historically has been "draggable" in a sense that the previous placement effected future placement. It drags like ...

I think it was probably done for performance reasons. To actively check and update the slowness based on the temperature level of surrounding pipes as opposed to a one off frozen/unfrozen, would cause a more sizeable ups hit.

If they can't be sent up to space via shuttle, what makes you think they can fit into cargo pods?

I'd say this is working as intended.

See 119548

I'd like to see the same filters on the explore tab, be on the manage tab as well. I've grown my mods to 100+ at this point, and I currently find myself wanting to enable only small tweaks to my new playthrough (Of previously installed mods that I ran in the past), but can't do it easily. I have to ...

My only major gripe with space age was the design of the landing pads being limited to 1 per planet. Watching AVDII on YouTube (Who did 1M spm run) have to resort to using bots to extract items out of the pad because throughput wasn't high enough, kinda goes against the idea of "Base must grow ...

This might be of help to you:

Outside of this, the API doesn't really have any ability to segment networks like this.

Alternatively: Just show unavailable recipes as RED, so you can distinguish easily between ones you can craft, and ones you can't.

Filenames in windows are case insensitive so when searching if a file exists and loading, filenames don't care about case. This is not the case for zip files, because the files are explicitly loaded via code.

Regardless, if this was fixed to do case-insensitive matching on windows, the mod would ...

I can't seem to find the root cause of why the game renders differently when maximized or at full screen versus when windowed (Even a few pixels smaller than maximized).

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, using gdm/X11. I've got the latest published nvidia ubuntu drivers: 570.133.07.

Side by side comparison ...
