QoL: Place inserter with enabled filter

Especially in Space Age, very often, I want to place an inserter somewhere with the intention of having it filter items before it starts grabbing items from an inventory. Usually (if I remember), I place the inserter in the "wrong" rotation, so it does not start grabbing unwanted stuff, but many ...

Move Space platform hub UI a couple of pixels (overlapping destination)

In maximum size, when playing on a standard 1920x1080 monitor with 100% scaling, the Space hub platform window always overlaps the destination of the space platforms view by a couple of pixels.

I find this information (esp. current location of the current platform) one of the most important ...

Re: Since 2.0: Pressing "Alt" confirms selection rectangle.

PS: There is one very awkward workaround at the moment: The bug seems to only involve the left Alt key. So using Alt-Gr (aka the right alt) seems to be still fine, but involves some serious hand-twisting when operating the mouse with the right hand..

[kovarex] Since 2.0: Pressing "Alt" confirms selection rectangle.

In 1.1, pressing Alt while selecting an area did nothing.

That was very good, because you could switch "modes" while you were selecting, e.g. if you are about to Copy-Paste something, you could change your mind while selecting an area to press Alt-B and create a blueprint instead. Similar for Ctrl ...

Re: Allow blueprint & co to travel with us into space

By the way: If there is some weird technical issue with implementing that: Why not remove the ability to have blueprints in your inventory completely and have a special section/book in the game blueprints for "automatically created blueprints" instead of putting them into inventory?

Auto-Construct platform from Blueprint?

In the "New space platform" dialog, there is this icon "Starter pack:" which seems to be visual-only.

Maybe its meant to be a reminder that you need a starter pack for the platform? Or maybe its for mods to provide different types of platforms?

Anyway, that would be a perfect place where I would ...

Re: [2.0.13] "F" over a constant combinator does not toggle anymore

Ah, thanks.

Yea, I usually had Pushbutton mod installed, but rarely used the actual buttons, as I found toggling combinators suited my use cases much better.

Bound the control. Happy again. :)


Thanks for the help.

[2.0.13] "F" over a constant combinator does not toggle anymore

When pressing "F" key over a constant combinator, that used to toggle it on and off without the need to click on it and then click on the On/Off setting.

This seems to be broken in 2.0.

I hope that wasn't intentionally. This was very handy for using constant combinators as quick-toggles of setups.

New building "Rotting Pile"

What about a new building "Rotting Pile" or "Muck heap" or something like this.. Its a chest, where spoiling of all items inside is 20x faster.

Sure, its a niche usage, but it would make the "getting rid of spoilage" setup a bit easier ^^

"Logistic Connections" for requester chests?

The feature, that inserters can directly connect to the logistic network they are in without requiring any cable is really cool. I wish this would be available for requester chests and buffer chests as well, especially to disable them if certain items are below certain numbers.

Here an example ...

Ctrl-Shift-Left click should force-insert modules

I LOVE the new force-build with blueprints via Ctrl-Shift-Left Click. So good. :)

I wish it would do the same when you insert modules into an assembly.

Currently, there is some logic behind it that only allows to insert modules of "higher tier", e.g. you can paste an Tier2 production on top of ...

Re: AND / OR in condition blocks too restricting. At least, flip grouping around


If you have to pick one ordering (a AND b) OR (c AND d) is the only way to make every behavior possible. You can make anything by expanding the boolean terms--this often means duplicating certain conditions within multiple ANDed blocks. This is painful without schedule entry copy-paste but it is ...

Re: AND / OR in condition blocks too restricting. At least, flip grouping around

PS: There is - of course - the workaround of placing combinators that do the OR combining into one signal and then use "Circuit Condition" to test for that signal. But well... I was hoping to actually get RID of these things with the new combinator UI ;(

I know that the devs already stated, that the AND / OR setup is not supposed to support full free bracket configurations (sadly), but could you please at least turn the current grouping around?

Currently, you can only have OR-combined blocks of AND's. That never felt useful for me in practical ...
