For my farms with circuit controlled harvesting, I see no need to ever deactivate planting seeds, because ripe fruits don't spoil as long as they are not being harvested. I harvest on demand, and there should be as many fruits available as possible, so all plants should have grown as much as ...

I don't see if it is remotely usable.

However, the whole purpose for this request is to not perform on_tick events for each monitored network.


I'm pretty sure this request won't change that. You'll still have to check the value of is_circuit_network_changed every tick, it's not an event.


Yeah, that's my point. The idea behind ...

I'm working on a mod library for this use case since i doubt it will see proper implementation in the engine. Will be coming soon, hopefully.

mod link for those interested


I appreciate your determination.

Both. Devs periodically provide more ways for quality to affect prototypes, but it's still only few properties, and all of them are hardcoded.

Technically possible with mods.

Create new kind of fluid wagon, named Pallete Cargo Wagon with a very specific fluid box restrictions.
Create a palletization machines of 2x6 profile which take items and spit them on "pipe" (furnace-like), and depalletization ones which take "fluid" from "pipe ...

Pretty much impossible. This requires (a) collecting players' telemetry, (b) sending it to Wube, and then (c) giving it to third-parties (mod devs). All of these are both non-trivial tasks, potential security risks, and violations of current privacy policy.

+1 on renaming the field from "Max consumption" to "Work consumption".

+1 on the ability to change quality; it happened to me so many times when I clicked recipe before selecting the needed quality level.

TL;DR
Add ability to lock request groups from being edited until manually unlocked.


What?

Add a simple "Lock" checkbox/toggle for each named request group, located in either rename window (which should be renamed as "edit window"), or in the list of applied groups.
The lock state is shared ...

I would take this idea a step further though. Pasting a recipe onto a requester chest should create a named logistic group using the recipes icon. If it already exists the multiplier gets overwritten. It no longer should replace the existing requests. That way a requester chest could easily be ...

It lets you shift right click an assembler and shift left click (like a requester chest) on inserters and [...] sets the inserter to enable if less than one stack of said item.


Contradicts current implementation, pasting settings into the inserter results in filters for the ingredients for some ...

This idea falls apart the moment fruits stopped being consumed in full capacity.
The "stop harvesting" mode of work will solve that.


Never stop consuming fruit! Process it for seeds then burn what's left, or if you have enough seeds just burn everything!


I made my Gleba base error-prone ...

I have found managing seed planting is key to controlling fruit output.

Inserting one seed will result in 50 fruit after 5 minutes. An inserter with hand size 1 inserting seeds, clocked in any way you choose (no smaller than approx 240 ticks per agri-tower) will yield a fruit output as regular ...

Hmmm splitters with circuit connection can't watch its content on belt just like common belt, not handy


I decided that reading content of a splitter would be useless because it would have to read content of both input half-belts and both output half-belts. Just place a transport-belt near the ...

• Splitters can be connected to circuit network.

WOAH!

Wait, I just noticed the train stop name in this screenshot.

Only reasonable option for making it colorblind friendly is to completly turn off the partial background drawing. Those colors are unfortunately provided through a png file so adjusting them is a little bit painful.


Maybe use textured background then?
Like green diagonal stripes for partially ...
