TL;DR

The "visualize entity fluid pipelines" hotkey should attempt to run only for entities that have a "visualize pipelines" button in their UI.

What?

Currently, the "visualize entity fluid pipelines" hotkey attempts to ...

Hi, could I request a reevaluation on this? It is at the very least confusing and unintuitive behavior that the visualize pipelines hotkey attempts to run when used on crafting machines with a fluidbox, considering that:

The hotkey does nothing when used on a crafting machine.
Even if one wanted ...

TL;DR

Please add a signal for trees in the "Environment" category of the signal selection menu.

What?

There are several environmental objects that are missing from the "Environment" signal category, such as trees, ashland trees, yumako trees, and jellystems. Ideally I would like to see them ...

Also, do the cryo plant, foundry, biochamber, etc not also have fluidboxes?

EDIT: Figured it out. When the other crafting machine types have a recipe set that uses fluids, the copy/paste does also stop working. So I guess the fluidboxes are only active for those machines when a recipe that uses ...

Could you explain what you mean by this? Even with "visualize entity fluid pipelines" set to a non-conflicting keybind, using that hotkey on a chemical plant or oil refinery does nothing.

The bug is that they conflict. Since "Visualize entity fluid pipelines" only functions when clicking on a pipeline, there's no reason why they should conflict when clicking on a crafting machine.

Also, there's the fact that it works fine for every machine type other than those two. So again, it ...

I have "Visualize entity fluid pipelines" bound to shift + right-click. I have "Paste entity settings" bound to the same key combo as well (which is the default for that control).

When I try to copy & paste settings to an oil refinery or chemical plant, nothing happens. I checked the settings copy ...

I'm not sure what exactly the ideal solution should be, but this is a point of friction that I also encounter regularly.

I would also find this helpful

+1. Personally I would also like to see the hazard concrete trick brought back in addition to this, since I don't see it as any different than the chest recycling trick for steel/iron. It feels extremely weird/inconsistent that the devs made an exception for just that one recipe specifically.

Bumping this. Especially now with Space Age, it's impossible to have a single deconstruction planner that removes *all* naturally generated debris (including cliffs, fulgora ruins, etc) while ignoring player-built structures. I find this extremely annoying personally, and there doesn't seem to be ...

I agree the new system is overall better. Having to hover your mouse over a pipeline to visualize it was somewhat inconvenient, especially if you were moving around trying to follow a long & complicated pipeline. However, the current implementation is the worst of both worlds: having to open up a ...
