Could also be used for some interesting ground logistics options too.

What:
I'd like to have an event fire when a gate starts / ends an opening / closing animation or reverses direction mid-animation. If possible, it'd be cool to have a property to have a gate sign up to have this behavior, with the behavior being 'off' by default, but I don't know if that's possible ...

I didn't realize it could have both. Then, maybe it should get its own property.

If I have a technology that uses, say, research_trigger = {type = "craft-item", item = "iron-gear-wheel", count = 100}, I'd like to be able to, at runtime, see the progress that's been made towards this tech. This applies to all other types of technology research triggers that involve a count ...

Thank you kindly. My 'stretch goal' of an ask would be that if it has an icon that can be clicked on in the Factoriopedia, then ... it would be sweet if the factoriopedia_description property worked. But, I won't press my luck. Either way, I appreciate it!

Thank you for taking a look at this!

So, the tl;dr is that you would need to add detail to an item when you basically have to build and communicate a concept in your mod structure for the player to successfully engage with it.

In this case, I have a system wherein I add several metals, each of ...

Whoops, thank you

Setting data.raw["utility-constants"].default.select_slot_row_count = 15 screws up the tabs in the Signal GUI, as seen in the screenshot.

Also, setting a 'factoriopedia_description' directly in a recipe doesn't seem to actually make an entry.

Hi! I'd like to have a separate localisation for tooltips and factoripedia entries, and it seems like the API reflects wanting to supply that agency. Currently, however, if I have a localised_description entry, then it overwrites the factoripedia_description in the Factoriopedia. I feel like this is ...

So ... is the tooltip going to be updated to something that reflects what it does, or will it remain incomplete? This is a pretty complicated but useful signal that probably deserves a more prominent place in the UI, but at the very least should have a tooltip that accurately describes what it does ...

The decider and arithmetic combinators have this beautiful section on the bottom showing 'input' and 'output' signals. This is great. Let's put it on anything connected to a circuit network.

The simplest implementation would be to simply have the signals that normally are shown in the tooltip when ...

Glad I searched; had this exact request. <3

Proposed tooltip exact text:

When use as input, this considers each input signal individually.
In a decider combinator, it will output each signal that has completely passed all conditions.
In an arithmetic combinator, if the output is not also an Each wildcard, the value of the chosen output ...

The tooltip for the "Each" signal does not do a good job of explaining its behavior in the context of an arithmetic combinator. For example, each + 0 = (sum of all values), each + each = each * 2, etc. are not at all well explained. It also references the notion of 'passing conditions' in the ...

Huh. That's really odd. I screwed up; apologies.

Pumps, Combinators, and other things that can have icons for circuit networks show icons exclusive to SA even when SA and its dependencies (from the mod menu) aren't enabled.

The best way to describe this is with an example.

In the ItemPrototype, the properties icon/icon_size and icons are both conditionally optional -- that is, you need either icons or both icon and icon_size. I don't know of a great way to show that these are linked -- I think it is important to ...

Thanks! I did a search and didn't find this thread.
