Make Rail hand-placeable for all 8 rotations instead of the original 4

TL;DR
Make (straight) Rail hand-placeable for its 8 rotations in 2.0, rather than just the original 4 rotations.

What?
All 8 rotations of Rail Supports can be selected and hand-placed with the rotate / reverse rotate keybinds.
But only the original 4 rotations of Rail can be selected and hand ...

Make "Toggle Rail Layer" keybind also toggle between Rail and Rail Support

TL;DR
Make the "Toggle Rail Layer" keybind also toggle back and forth between Rail and Rail Support

What?
Currently the Toggle Rail Layer keybind does two things (to my knowledge):


When using the Rail Planner, it toggles between searching for a grounded vs. elevated destination

Re: Make railguns not hit opened gates

I agree that entities which do not impede walking, driving, nor enemies should not be damaged by railguns.

Re: [2.0.15] Stompers do not take damage from land mines when attacking

The mines still do not explode if destroyed during the deployment period. They will only explode on destruction once they are armed.

Ah, that is good.

I thought Stompers were intentionally resilient/immune to Land Mines and that the "bug" was how they didn't destroy Land Mines when en-route to a ...

Re: [2.0.15] Stompers do not take damage from land mines when attacking

Wasn't this the intended behavior? So that Land Mines are ineffective against Stompers? And so that Biters and Spitters can kill recently-placed Land Mines without blowing themselves up?

That deployment period was the only real downside Land Mines had, the only reason speedrunners and deathworld ...

Rename Personal Roboport to Portable Roboport

Rename Personal Roboport in the English locale to Portable Roboport

"Personal Roboport" brings forth concepts like "customized, unique to the user, one-of-a-kind;" and "singular ownership, not shared between multiple people or multiple places." But Personal Roboports aren't just used ...

TL;DR
Keep the Blueprint Library open after deleting a Blueprint Book

Currently, the library is closed when we delete a Blueprint Book stored in the Blueprint Library.

Instead, I would like the library to return to the next-higher nesting when a book is deleted.

Why?
This will improve ...

Add Land Mine trigger range visualization

TL;DR: When placing or hovering a Land Mine, show a circle that visualizes their (or its) trigger area, similar to turrets.

Their trigger and damage radius are not the same. Trigger radius is 2.5 tiles, damage radius is 3.0 tiles.

I believe the trigger area is the most important thing to ...

Re: Document the radar combinator mechanic in-game


I suggest to add the standard circuit icon on GUI: if you see the icon you know you can connect the radar to circuit.

Even the humble wooden chest has the circuit icon and the read-only checkbox that explains what it can do when connected to a circuit.

They have visibility problems in combinator description fields, too, but only when the text field is active. This case could be resolved by changing or removing the text field highlighting.

Re: Increase the health of Curved and Half-Diagonal Rails

Essentially: Curves are more fragile than straights. They cost more to build and have a larger surface area, yet they don't have more health.

When biters attack railroad tracks, they'll destroy 10 Curved Rails much more quickly than 30 Straight Rails, despite both requiring the same number of Rail ...

[Pard] [2.0.43] Curved and Half-Diagonal Rails are missing from Factoriopedia / "Yields 1 Rail" is inaccurate

Opening the Factoriopedia (with alt + left-mouse-button) on any Curved Rail or any Half Diagonal Rail opens the 'pedia entry for Straight Rail.

The 'pedia entry for Straight Rail states that it yields 1 Rail item, which is inaccurate for Curved Rail and Half Diagonal Rail. Instead, they yield 3 and ...

Increase the health of Curved and Half-Diagonal Rails

Currently, all rail shapes have the same base health: 200.
I suggest increasing the health of Curved and Half-Diagonal Rails to counterbalance their higher material cost and larger surface area.


Straight rails cost 1 Rail item and cover 4 tiles
Diagonal rails cost 1 Rail item and cover ~8 tiles ...

Re: [2.0.9] Number value input overflow (negative/positive/large/big/combinator/integer) (MR)

This has been really bugging me. Large numbers are clamped, rather than overflow, in other parts of the UI, like constants in arithmetic combinators and constants in the conditions to enable/disable machines. And I do use this to set the max or min int32 without having to remember the actual values ...

[2.0.14] Sign Overflow when setting signals in Logistic Groups

Setting a very large or very small value for signals in Logistic Groups (eg: in a Constant Combinator) causes the value to sign overflow. Normally (eg: in an Arithmetic Combinator), sign overflow is prevented and the largest or smallest possible signed value is set.

[2.0.13] "Range" property is measured inconsistently for Spitters vs. Gun Turrets

https://i.imgur.com/lR5ZFcE.png

In the tooltips and the Factoriopedia, Gun Turrets list a range of 18 tiles and Behemoth Spitters list a range of 16 tiles. So one would think that Gun Turrets have 2 tiles of leeway before a Spitter walks close enough to shoot back.

But this is not the case, the ...
