Discovering things along the way would be much more rewarding

I'm not sure was it always like that before or this is an issue which was brought by 2.0. For this reason, I'm not putting it into 'technical problems' forum.

Anyway, some other day I was scheming my blueprints. All went well, but when I once opened by library, I found out that one of the ...

1. Specify an item to craft
2. Load base resources which are listed in the item's tooltip (All intermediates will be figured out automatically)
3. Profit

This version has a maximum depth of 4, but it is easily extendable, just copy-paste and add some ...

Sometimes before capturing blueprint I might forget to set some settings, for instance, disable train limit, define some constants in combinator, etc.

It was not much of an issue in 1.x, as I would just fix the setup and recapture the blueprint.

But in 2.0, with parametrized blueprints, each time ...

I was going to suggest the same idea, thankfully, found this topic.

Factorio needs circuit abstraction.

Huge bump.

First of all, thanks for an elaborate and thoughtful response.
I have some counter-arguments, but I will start with a disclaimer. I understand that my ideas of train schedule functionality is some massive work that is oriented towards rather hardcore players which make up just a small percentage ...

I think that using station names for game logic it hacky. It feels like trying to anticipate some specific user stories and cover these exact scenarios by implementing legalized workarounds. I don't think it will ...
