Is there a Lua command to show the character screen? I'd like to create a mod that adds a button to the shortcut bar that brings it up.

If you're going to rework tooltips maybe look at adding one showing what the belt under the mouse pointer is carrying? If you use mods that add a lot of entities, visually distinguishing between three slightly differently shaded white squares is challenging.

With .38 I got occasional dips to 40/40 FPS/UPS but with this version I'm getting frequent and sustained dips to 30/30. Looking at the F5 output doesn't tell me anything. I'm running lots of mods - what's the best way of tracking down the culprits? Please don't say disabling them one by one.

Workaround: Set all the refineries' recipes to empty and then set them to the recipe you want.

I'm wondering why the game doesn't tell you what's on a belt segment if you move your cursor over it. I realize the number of items on a segment might be changing too fast but the types of items should be fairly constant, especially if you poll once a second. Playing with mods which add a lot of ...

If this is not a bug then why does recipe-switching work when only one entity (with pipes) is pasted or if n-1 pasted entities' recipe are set to nil as described in my report?

1. Copy two or more already active entities with input or output pipes (or both) containing fluids.
2. Paste to a location making sure none of the new pipes will be connected.
3. Trying to change the recipe in one entity will result in a "Can't mix fluids" message and set the recipe to nil.

If n-1 ...

Is it just me or are ghost entities harder to spot in 0.17? I've had a few times where I couldn't figure out why something wasn't working, only to realize a placed entity was only a ghost, and not really there.

TL;DR
Allow players to remove entities by right clicking and mining them while paste mode is active.

Why ?
Right now players cannot remove entities while paste mode is active. This prohibits making "quick adjustments" like removing bits of existing belts so that new belts will properly join to ...

Latest version of Factorio and FNEI as of now:
* Queue up some research
* Go into FNEI and pull up a product that requires some unresearched tech
* Click tech (with red background)
* Research screen appears but queue is gone

We can rotate entities we copy before pasting them. Any plans to allow us to mirror/flip them?

The original Portable solar panel has this mod path: Base mod > Bob's Warfare. I don't think I'm running any other mod that affects the output values.

Is there something off about personal solar panels (Warfare)? Level 1 outputs 45 kw, level 2 is 15 kw, level 3 is 25 kw.

For copy/paste, it would be really good if we had the option to rotate and flip what is being pasted before actually doing the paste. Also, are these changes going to work with existing mods like Nanobots and Long Reach?

Ack. You're right. Stack size updates after inserter works one cycle.

Completing research on infinite stack inserter capacity bonus does not update the max stack size on existing non-stack inserters. For example, completing stack inserter capacity bonus 10 gives me a stack size of 21 on all stack inserters but existing non-stack inserters are capped at 5. Newly placed ...

Feeding purified water into the barrelling pump results in pure water barrels. Turning auto-barrelling off and manually choosing the recipe results in the proper purified water barrels. I need to go around my factory and reset all the pumps now, though...

I've mentioned this before, but it'd be great if we could access the inventory screen via a mouse click. If you're working on the quickbar widget, the grey divider that separates the two sides of the bar is a perfect place to add that functionality...

Does powered rail not work with F.A.R.L? Take a look at the attached screenshot. The powered rail sections were laid by hand, the unpowered sections (which still use the powered rail item) were laid by F.A.R.L., with the powered rail option selected.

I turned down some of the graphic options (I didn't touch them when upgrading from .15 to .16) and I'm back at 60/60 now.
