I see all the concerns, and mostly they are reasonable.

What about forceprinting over something completely different, I'd say usually you should not do that, you should use a decon planner anyway, because of there might left some inserters that will mix belts content or some belt which will screw ...

So basically it is a more technical limitation and this design was chosen not because of you believe it is better but because it was much simpler to implement with existing constraints. Anyway, doesn't look as something impossible but it would improve quality of life.

TL;DR
We need some better way to upgrade chests with an existing blueprint, not deconstructing them entirely before put a replacement chest.

What?
When I make my malls sometimes i use storage chest to store items that can be recycled or even for all the items instead of a regular passive ...

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to understand the rationale behind this. I mean, i can't see any reasons from a user perspective for decon+ghost in the first place except maybe the (really rare) case when you have some trash inside a chest and it will prevent requests to be fulfilled or something ...

That said. I sometimes use storage chest with a filter in my malls, so you can avoid overproduction, because if you decon something it returns to a dedicated storage chest, not random one. I can actually understand current behavior, it was an easy fix to cleanup a chest before place a filtered ...

I'd like to have that too.

I also would like to have some command to at least cycle over my armors. It would be also extremely nice to have some record about the last equipped armor before you was killed to put on exactly the same one when you pick your body. Because i literally always put on the wrong armor unless i take ...

lol. very nasty and evil, also discovered recently)
This way someone can steal literally anything not just an armor. But i guess it was made for the sake of consistency. My particular use case that justifies that: sometimes i equip tanks/spidertrones with exos/shields/etc while have something in my ...

Always wanted something similar. And came to almost the same idea. So a speaker could have a switch which makes it's text field parameterized, and then some of icons could have special meaning such as [virtual-signal=signal-everything] / [virtual-signal=signal-each] / [virtual-signal=signal-anything ...

any chance that this flag could be controlled via scripting? i was playing fish defense map where old behavior was good to distract spitters while turrets stay relatively untouched.

When i discovered fast rotation for a belt under construction it was a big game changer. I'd like to see it for pipes too.

While original idea looks like a very specific use case, i always wanted at least a deconstruction planner with a possibility to remove the drills which have no resources underneath.

Super annoying when you are trying to figure out if it's a spiderton of the enemy or just watchers.
The feature itself is too invasive to not have a posibility to disable.

Looks too restrictive for me too, please fix this. Also icons take too much space (like few dozens characters per icon) you can easily exceed blueprint title limit, so you'll see like

i'd vote this up
