Check the bug reports forum, the devs are very much alive and working.

It is tricky to talk about new features when building a game or expansion pack. Not all proposed features will make it into the final game, so people will be disappointed if you reveal them too soon.

The following combinations are allowed in describing a character class: x: where x is not one of the magic characters ^$()%.[]*+-? %x: (where x is any non-alphanumeric character) represents the character x. This is the standard way to escape the magic characters. To search for - in a string, you ne...

But you can reduce the slots of any chest using the X button.

In data/core/prototypes/unknown.lua, please add the "hidden" flag to signal-unknown. When it is not hidden, it spams the choose-elem-button menu.

If 85768 was implemented I could hide it myself, but this is an easier fix.

It's definitely because of the mod.

If you set the LuaGuiElement.caption property on a frame, it will create a title bar similar to the ingame one, but without a close button. If you want to have a close button, you need to skip the caption and build your own title bar. I found a couple examples of how to do this, but they did not mat...

There is a button to turn off your personal roboport.

To turn off other roboports, you have to deconstruct them. Or do your planning outside the construction zone.

Not unless you know the LuaEntity inheritance tree. If you want to document how a LuaEntity can be two types at once, that would be great too!

If you give LuaSurface.count_tiles_filtered() an area that is partially uncharted, it returns too early. To reproduce, I started a new game, waited 30 minutes for all charting to finish, then tried to count some tiles. At about 800 tiles away from the start position, count_tiles_filtered() began fai...

That command works on real cars. You will have to figure out which prototype property you used that breaks it.

Yes, a hidden inserter would work fine. Inserters can work with buildings even if their collision boxes overlap.

Your idea is basically the same as Miniloader, but with the direction of the underground belts reversed.

Can you zip the mod and attach it to a post?

Your control.lua code works for me. What other mods do you have installed?

Here is a similar coordinate system. It stores the coordinates in a single signal, which reduces the number of combinators needed. The coordinates are limited to the range [-23169, 23169] or ±2¹⁴⋅⁵. 0eNrVWd1umzAUfpXK0q4GHTYESO4mbXfddrGLJpoqBMRNrCU2MiZaVPEAe4s9255kNqRNQiCxSX+ym1YGn+Nzvu/84TyAZFHgjBMq...

You can define a unique remote interface.

in scenario: in mod:

I would like a read-only boolean property on LuaCircuitNetwork to tell when the contents of a circuit network have changed. I believe this already exists internally, it just needs to be exposed to Lua. The use case is controlling modded buildings through the circuit network. With a fast way to see i...

And then, after the devs make pipes shorter and easier, they should rebalance recipes to encourage more direct insertion between assembling machines. This would get rid of false I/O with items on belts.
