Why does the red wire output the stop 's signal? The only source of signals it has is the stop and the combinator, but the latter doesn't produce any signals. It makes no sense that the wire by itself transmits the stop's output right back as its input. Also, the output is strange. With 0 or 1 wires ...

I can see that, however, it makes no sense to me. The green wire is connected to the input port of the combinator while the red wire is connected to the output port of the other combinator. The 1st combinator thus outputs the stop's signals on the same green wire while the other outputs nothing over ...

Why does this train stop get twice the train count in the "Enable/disable" condition? If I remove either wire it suddenly goes back to the expected value. The combinators just pass through the signals unmodified.

Was this ever changed?

I tested putting the "Signal" placeholder from the pipette tool and it doesn't get replaced by the game. I'm half torn if this is a bug and should be reported as such or an unimplemented feature.

How can I get the developers to comment on this matter? This makes my otherwise elegant train setup broken, and it seems to be a weird omission unless there is a technical reason for it.

As you can see there is only the "Item parameter" signal. Because of this my generic train schedule idea doesn't work correctly. With the latter it doesn't resolve to anything and thus the train is stuck.

A thousand times this! You can use it everywhere else but in the "Item count" condition.

Pretty much the only things from the DLC I am interested in are the foundry, recycler, railroads, quality. I do not want anything else much if at all. Space exploration, new enemies, you name it.

So having said that, I have a question to the developers: can I get a provision for this kind of ...
