+1 and I would add that it could also include an additional line for how many of those items are stored in the cargo bay's current logistics network. When you hover over a logistics chest, it shows how many items are available in a network. When you hover over the request slot in a blue/green chest ...

I wish you would just set the research conditions in the old and trusty research window. And could manually insert stuff, etc.
Having to go look where my labs are and which one I connected to the circuit network is very flow breaking, when you just had to press one key before.


You can use alt ...

This behavior is already achievable with circuits.

Making all the bot trips occur at once will put extra strain on the roboports recharging them, which can cause cascading effects on the throughput of other items and construction ...

If you change the stack size of eggs themselves then they will stack up that high in even normal biter spawners.

I'm also not worried about getting the most out of my ship, because I can easily build and supply enough normal quality biter spawners to supply it.

What I want is a meaningful reason ...

Wouldn't it be better to simply change the stack size (and possibly with a mod) and not mess with how one exceptional machine works?

If for no other reason that to see if it gets you what you want?

Sorry. But you can pop open a machine and test this, and I was kind of inspired to because I ...

1. There should be multiple ways to design a base in a sandbox game like this, not a one size fits all approach. You're assuming that doing ship-to-ship transfers of eggs at the edge of the solar system is the only way.


Shouldn't "multiple ways to design a base" have different downsides? I ...

You're only reducing the problem by a factor of 4. Scaling problems are usually much larger in size, like a order of magnitude or more. You haven't significantly changed the problem in question. 500k eggs at once is 5k normal spawners and 5k normal spawners are just as good as 5k legendary ...

Platform-to-platform transfers are good for small to medium amounts of promethium science but do not scale up to megabase sizes.

Why not?

Let's take your promethium ship example. It's starting to get full, so it calls for eggs. Egg ship 1 picks up a bunch of eggs (let's say 500k eggs) and ...

Given 2.1's interplanetary signals and the ability to do platform-to-platform transfers, players will be able to make promethium science production more consistent. So while this would be useful, I don't think this feature will be as necessary for making use of legendary spawners for science ...

Higher quality captive biter spawners should be able to hold more than 100 eggs in their output slot

What?
All biter spawners should be able to hold 200 seconds' worth of production in their output slot.
Currently all quality biter spawners can hold a maximum of 100 eggs in their output slot ...

I've got the same issue as Erik in version 2.1.12. I've not experienced Ctri's separate bug.
Mods used:
flib 0.17.2
FluidWagonColorMask 2.1.0
RateCalculator 3.4.1
productivity-technology-limit 0.0.2 (I went into this mod's zip and changed the info.json to make it work with 2.1)

I made a blueprint of 4 mining drills loading belts perpendicularly. The second drill from the right loads on the left-hand lane. The other three all load on the right hand lane. The ghosts for the buildings show the correct arrow placement, but the preview pane inside the blueprint tool does not ...

Setting the liquid filter on a pump allows filtering for only plasma, even though plasma cannot travel through pumps and pipes. This is not only useless but could confuse new players about how plasma functions.

The left and right lanes of my green belt loop move at different speeds.

After procrastinating several hours, I rebooted Gleba and when I checked on my captive biter spawners on Nauvis, I noticed this strange behavior on my belt of spoilage, bioflux, and biter eggs.

I tried making other loops of ...
