There's an obvious issue with this. It can be solved, but you have to pick a path.

Assume an inserter receives a quality signal, let's say "rare," and an item signal, let's say "iron plates." The problem is that nothing about how signals work tells you how these two are supposed to combine, and ...

nice idea. i would like to use this on the destruction planner.

how does this behave in multiplayer? is it possible for someone to add new group just slightly before someone else clicks on the delete button, shifting the layout by one and so deleting the wrong group?

it would be nice if this would also regard situations like this 134314

is there a reason why you would want to read belt count over belt capacity directly? as far I see, you all want to estimate belt capacity. straight belt and turns can hold different amount of items; a built-in get capacity would match this better.

You have right that multiple stations requesting the same items might be open at the same time, that was my fault.

is incompatible with interrupt-based generic trains


This was a bit ambiguously phrased, I meant that you can't mix ...

the case of fuel_top_speed_multiplier < 1 also exists in unmodded factorio (see spoilage, max speed 50%)

Yeah, it's possible, but the max of two coloured wires per channel might be too few for some applications.

3x communication paths can hardly fit into only two wires.

It would get worse if some of the paths would actually require both wires.

What I want is an unnamed channel, similarly to the ...

TL;DR

Introduce an "Orbit" operation mode for radars next to "Surface" and "Universe".

This would connect all space platforms staying in the same orbit and the planet's surface.

Why?

I am very happy to see that radars will get "Universe" mode, as noted on FFF-441 .

A common use case for ...

This happening only in editor already cuts amount of players that can experience this by a significant factor, and as such this is a minor issue.


That's not the case.


The video recorded using the editor, in normal game the issue behaves the same way.


I just tried it out again.

One of my ...

I understand that this is not solvable using single-pass logic, but is there any chance that a two-pass logic gets introduced?

The two-pass logic could implemented eg. kind of: manage a list of skipped entites and when the initial placement finished, check if the skipped entities are still existing ...

Nice idea but I find it a bit distracting. While this would likely help beginners to understand the mechanics, for me it is harder to figure out what's going on by a quick look due to the overwhelming color flood.
