Don't know what and when changed, but this doesn't seem to happen anymore in 2.0.72 and the preview window disappears when pause menu is opened

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... ticker_box says "currently only used for units", however it is, at the very least, also used on characters and spider-vehicles, and probably cars since they also support stickers. That line should probably be removed

This has been implemented as https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... em_tooltip in factorio 1.1.101

Just being able to position elements at the cursor in some way would go a long way. I've worked on multiple mods where this would be useful.
For example anything that tries to replicate combinator GUIs will run into the issue of not being able to display "connected to" tooltips изображение.png ...

Must is a wrong word, constant combinators are a common option, but decider combinator can also be a good choice if your entity has input and output sides, since decider's outputs can also be freely manipulated.

1) No, only productivity technology effect exists, as has been said above.
2) No, you can change all base effects, but not at runtime.
3) You could enable and disable some recipes at runtime, which could be used to change whether reipes with fluids are available, for example, but not most other ...

Allowing cursor interactions is usually the whole point, otherwise a table could work for just displaying the inventory (though there are a lot of things that need to be replicated, like filters, bar, quality, health and spoilage meters, etc.). Disabling the element could disable all interactions ...

Yes, the percentages are relative to base speed. The total speed should be accurate and in your screenshots it changes. The bonus percentage from beacons/modules stays the same.

I'd add that recipe tooltips in signals selection are lacking in general, not just for debug info. It used to be a big issue in py, where there was barely any distinction between recipe signals and item signals. It has been partially improved with disctinct icons, but not completely.
There might be ...

You can (and often should) set player.opened to your gui. That will make pressing e and escape, as well as opening any other gui send the on_gui_closed event, so opening other guis is not an issue.

As for blocking other actions such as moving, it depends on what you want to do. Maybe its not even ...

horizontal_align controls how the child elements are aligned. So instead of adding labels directly, for each label, add a flow, set its horizontally_stretchable to true and set horizontal_align on it. Then add a label to the flow.

I support a unified field with default value. The beginner argument could make sense if the default value was non-trivial like "All categories are allowed", but i see no issue with defaulting to {"crafting"}.

I'm not sure if the message will be shown to all active players or just those who have connected.

Since you use game.print, it will print the message to all players. Use player.print if you want to print a message for a specific player.

also the question: is it possible pop-up message instead ...

Does the label's style has this property set to false? https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... ingle_line

This seems like it should be moved to (or opened as a new) modding interface requests since there is currently no way to do it
(and at least one person confused it with one, as almost did i )

+1, its essential for replicating item/inventory slots and can be useful for other stuff
