Command to show Character screen

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.

Re: Friday Facts #318 - New Tooltips

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.

Re: Version 0.17.39

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.

Figuring out what is on a belt

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 ite...

Re: [0.17.23] Cannot change recipes in copy-pasted entities

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?

[0.17.23] Cannot change recipes in copy-pasted entities

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...

Ghost entities in 0.17

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.

Allow mining when pasting entities

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 jo...

Copy-Paste in 0.17

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.

Re: Friday Facts #255 - Construction tools

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?

Stack sizes on non-stack inserters

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...

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.
