expected behavior: the underground belt structure looks like it is made out of metal and not glass or plastic, item lights shining through them feels weird.

steps to reproduce: watch the "nauvis_uranium_processing" menu simulation for the belt that passes under the bottom part of the menu window ...

the item request proxy does not care what is in a slot marked for removal, as long as any item in the removal plans marks that slot for extraction:


/c chest = game.player.surface.create_entity{name = "wooden-chest", force = "player", position = {0, 0}}
/c chest.insert({name = "iron-plate"})
/c ...

steps to reproduce:
- create fresh instance
- download https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner and put it in the mods folder by hand
- start the game
- get the load error that flib is missing
- install flib through the manage mods button
- notice the wrong configuration popup
- head back to the ...

It would be nice if the localized name of a planet could be overwritten in the control stage.
Ideally it should also take priority over platform names, but since those can already be edited in the control stage there is no immediate need.

This would allow mods to deliberately change the icon of a ...

When a mod crashes in the settings/data stage the following appears in the log:

Error ModManager.cpp:1767: Error in assignID: recipe-category with name 'recycling' does not exist.

It is a little odd for that error/warning to appear since the game is clearly not gonna continue to load already ...

the tooltip of a furnace's input slot will happily suggest recipes that require fluids even when that furnace prototype does not have any fluidbox defined.


{
type = "recipe",
name = "lithium-plate",
category = "smelting",
subgroup = "aquilo-processes",
order = "c[lithium]-b[lithium-plate ...

Encountered with Space Exploration's se-big-rock-asteroid, it should show as 0.something and possibly with that weird yellow chance tint assemblers use.

entity-util.lua also says
editor_only = 20, -- entities not selectable by normal player (e.g. corpses, projectiles), but by editor in entity mode
It would be good if the treshold at which the entity becomes unselectable was documwnted as well


i was curious about that one too but from what i ...

i ran into an issue working with loaders that their selection priority was 45 instead of the default/assumed 50.

we modders often use (entity.selection_priority or 50) + 1 to make sure something is above or below a certain entity, but there are a bunch of exceptions.

i found 3 of those that are ...

when trying to hide a surface from the remote view starmap the only real option currently is to mark the surface as hidden.

hidden surfaces still show alerts (which in my opinion is a good thing), however the alert center loses the ability to navigate to specific alerts on said surface.

the ...

Thanks a bunch for that!

However i would like to advocate for "runtime" to be renamed "control" purely for code clarity, ask yourself which of these 2 is more obvious at first glance:


if helpers.stage == "runtime" then
--
end


if helpers.stage == "control" then
--
end


Likewise the ...

it would just get stuck on working or output full.

the expected behavior is that the rocket starts to rise since it now has enough parts.

if the now total/leftover parts in the silo exceeds the (new) rocket_parts_storage_cap it is expected to overflow that number, which is already allowed when you ...

some extra light on this:

so with Space Exploration we have a startup setting which hides the Quality mod for when you accidentally load with it and experience the WIP compatibility, the setting acts as an opt-in with a warning that stuff can chance in between versions and to not cry if things ...

Figured that'd be the response, kinda odd that destroy_on_empty is an option at all then honestly.

expected behavior: the player cannot see hidden qualities so the production statistics dropdown should not show them.

steps to reproduce:
- set the epic quality prototype to hidden
- /cheat all
- open production statistics

expected behavior: the player cannot select hidden qualities so if there are no visible qualities then the gui should not show the quality button section.

steps to reproduce:
- set the epic quality prototype to hidden
- /cheat all
- place assembler
- open assembler

It would be nice if labs had a section for the science packs they can accept, and science packs having a section for labs they can be used in.

The expected behavior is that a temporary container without items inside stops refreshing the unclaimed cargo alert, since there is no more cargo left to claim.

It could use a description that 0 means no alert, for time to live it is somewhat obvious 0 means infinite, but for 0 the alert means never instead of right away.

on the space exploration discord we had to do an emergency hotfix for it: https://discord.com/channels/419526714721566720/1473271954193514567

basically the docs make you believe they're marked as optional since they only appear when the type matches theirs, but apparently when the type is station ...
