This has been mostly implemented in 2.1, however there are some entities (like rocket silos) that have multiple output options (read contents, read platform requests). I need to read both of them to automate sending items to space without logistics robots (which are dumb so I don't use them). Please ...

I eventually figured it out on my own by looking at another mod and trying many times.

I just tried it and it says it only works for tiles, entities, and decoratives.

I made a resource that has "autoplace = {probability_expression = 1}" so that it should spawn everywhere it can, just to test how autoplace works, but it is not being placed in the world at all.

The full code for my resource:
data:extend({

type = "resource",
name = "rubber-tree",

Is there a way to make it a pipe while it is being held but turn it into an inserter when placed?

Same for spoil_result.

I deepcopied the burner inserter and made it a steam inserter with "filter = "steam"" in its fluid_box. In game I can't place pipes next to it that would connect it to a fluid other than steam, but I can still connect it to entities and pipes that have other fluids in them by placing the other ...

I tested it. It acts like the steam is at the machine's maximum temperature.

"maximum_temperature :: float optional

Default: 0

0 means unlimited maximum temperature. If this is non-zero while scale_fluid_usage is false and fluid_usage_per_tick is not specified, the game will use this value to calculate fluid_usage_per_tick. To do that, the filter on the fluid_box must be ...

Please add a way to toggle whether fluid temperature affects the crafting speed of fluid powered crafting machines.

It makes sense that fluid temperature affects crafting speed by default, but I want to make a steam powered plant grower and harvester and it makes no sense for fluid temperature to ...

I thought it was about whether an input fluid can go from one machine to another through the connections. I think I have it figured out now. Thanks.

"Failed to load mods: Error while loading entity prototype "forestry" (assembling-machine): Crafting machine fluidboxes must be input or output types." Why? What is the benefit of this restriction? What is the best work around?

Sorry I didn't read the suggestion template first. I hope This request is straight forward and obvious enough.

Please allow this so we can make mods where fuel burns into something other than exactly one item or nothing ever.
