TL;DR

Combinators can replace each other, preserving the wires

What?

Why?

Sometimes you add a combinator to a complex circuit, connect it, and then realize you chose the wrong one. To replace it, you have to remove the old one, which breaks all the wires.

It would be cool if this option returned the internal battery level.

Give us underground belts with a logical network.

It makes them stop inserting items when entity does not want items to be inserted anymore. Makes loaders behave the same as inserters in terms of adding just a little into assemblers, not just breaching all possible insertion limits and going up to a full ingredient stack capacity.

Quality Transfer is clearly not working correctly. Or it is named incorrectly.

In theory, in this circuit the output should be plastic with quality 2, but the output is empty.

In 2.0.43, Loader could put 46 meteorites in the crusher (and I used it mercilessly), and in 2.0.44 only 7. Is this change related to this fix?

And you will get a delay of 2 ticks.

You send the specified signal to the inserter and his pickup and drop points swap places.

Using combinators is not always convenient due to the tick delay, and sometimes it is impossible when there are many signals.

Recently added a cool feature that allows you to keep the wire connection during the Cut-Move-Paste operation.
If you Paste too far, the wires break. And sometimes it's hard to keep track of this.
I'd like to add some kind of visual that will show which wires will break when moving.

For some reason, temporary entries are inserted at the beginning of the schedule, and not at the end.

Thanks a lot for the API for working with the schedule. BUT. Why is it so complicated and illogical?

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/ScheduleRecordPosition.html - this looks like a crutch :(

And adding an element to the schedule: I did add_record, but what index should I use in add ...

If the FluidWagonPrototype.quality_affects_capacity flag is set at the prototyping stage, then at runtime there is no way to know LuaEntityPrototype.fluid_capacity depending on quality.

Hello.

Context:
I am the author of the mod RailLogisticsDispatcher .
The mod adds an entity based on the deciding combinator with a redesigned GUI (this base has two ports for connecting wires and parameters that allow you to save the desired settings).

To display the gui, I handle the on_gui ...

To be able to make more compact railway junctions.

Perhaps something can be done with the stations too.

Example:

And we are all waiting and waiting for the moment when it will be possible to change train schedules in lua without removing interrupts...

Now alerts are shown for a short time and disappear forever.

If I went to drink tea - I can miss something. And it will also be useful for those whose server works around the clock and sometimes the base is unattended.

I think, for starters, you can just add an on_alert event (or something like ...

I completed it and it was a great experience. Lately in 1.1 I was only honing ready-made, almost perfect, schemes and writing or searching for mods. And in SA I played the same Factorio again like I did when I first got acquainted with it - everything from scratch.
Thanks for the new planets ...

What exactly? Will the inserters be able to or will the loaders no longer be able to?

Is this a bug or a feature? Can I design the platform assuming that loaders can pass items through the asteroid harvester?
