Items sitting loose in space is weird

TL;DR
Provide some explanation why you can't put a chest or train track on a space platform because of low gravity, but you can leave items on the platform surface and they just sit there.

What?
I don't have any specific ideas, and I'm not suggesting changing it because it's clearly a balancing ...

Make "green" and "red" into signal modifiers

TL;DR

Create green and red variants of all signals that only read from/send to the corresponding network, when selecting signals in control UIs.

What?

Quality introduces a new UI for creating modified signals that carry quality information.

The same concept can be used to give each signal ...

Re: Roboport robot requests limit?

I don't think "the robots need somewhere to go" makes sense as an argument against this feature, because roboports already have a maximum capacity and it's perfectly possible to overwhelm a network with more bots than it can actually hold.

This would be a very useful feature particularly for ...

Re: Allow the insertion of rocket part ingredients into the rocket silo.


I second this. I would also like to extend on the
Why?
There is currently no way of communicating between platform, rocket silo and landing pad. That means if I request 1000 processing units in orbit, and I have 1250 processing units on the ground, then 1200 will get sent up. There is no way for ...

Re: Please, PLEASE make circuit connection behavior configurable per wire

I'd like to suggest an alternative implementation of the same goal.

Instead of adding red/green UI everywhere, make "red", "green", and into modifiers that apply overtop existing signals, selectable in the signal selection UI, in the same way that you can apply quality overtop an existing signal ...

Chest locked slot circuit control.

TL;DR
Add a circuit control to chests that controls the number of locked (red) slots.

What?
All circuit-connected chests should have an additional, toggleable circuit mode that reads a specified signal (default L?) and controls the number of locked slots in the chest. If the signal is <= 0, all ...

Modding request: Separate rocket silo behaviour into two-stage crafters and rocket launchers

TL;DR

Make it possible to have two-stage non-rocket assembly machines, and single-stage assembly in rocket silos.

What?

It should be possible for any recipe to be two-stage, requiring completion of a sub-recipe in order to progress on the main recipe. This could then be used in other kinds of ...

Re: Allow logistics transfers between space platforms

I think this is a critically missing feature too. It would be very flavourful to be able to make a giant space starion that prepares ammo and fuel for other platforms. Instead of making big ships, you could make little zippy cargo ships with no local production.

But this would have some significant ...

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

Please make the pipette copy entity settings like recipe, even from ghosts! It's really annoying to have to copy paste the recipe separately when pipetting!
