Plenty of mods to do this already: Nanobots, Bluebuild

Just split it in the chest.
How would that solve anything?

I mean, say you have 8 furnaces to fill. You split a stack of iron ore in half. Each half again. And again.
And then you can simply Ctrl-Click through each furnace and be done with it.

You cannot do this with autosort turned on because ...

There is a terrific mod for this already.
Manual Inventory Sort

I do agree this should be a part of vanilla game.

There is an inventory auto-sort that you can turn on in the options somewhere.
Autosorting is terrible when you want to manually distribute things between chests and such. There is ...

Genius. Sokobantorio is the way to go.

The spill back then was an undesired effect when you tried to mine a chest without accounting for the contents.
This is bad.

This idea suggests returning this, uh, feature as an additional and highly undesired effect of destroying a container. Mining is always done by a player and should have no ...

TL;DR
When a storage-like structure (chests, furnaces, turrets) is destroyed, the contents should be spilled on the ground rather than get miraculously destroyed without any consequences.

What and why?
This adds a hilariously annoying mechanic into the game that ensures that the player must be ...

It appears to me that the Devs want to make the game as minimalistic as possible.

They will only implement an idea IF:
1. It cannot be reproduced using already existing features
2. It's a QoL improvement that cannot be implemented with mods.

Most of those things you mentioned CAN be created ...

Minecraft's Industrial Craft implements this in a robust fashion: by sending "packets" of energy through wires. This could be used to implement this system, but it would suffer from the fact that unlike IC, there are many more active energy generators in Factorio per tick and the way they work is ...

If you open the GUI of a Vehicle Deployer and limit the cells available to none and attempt to put a vehicle into the locked cell, it will crash with an obvious exception as you are trying to access non-existent entity.

(that's half the fun of a constricted base, to work out how to place things and work around obstacles)
So you have never misplaced an inserter or a belt then? Because this challenge prohibits any kind of deconstruction. There is a reason why it is an "exercise in frustration". This also makes ...

Besides trees tiles also absorb pollution.

https://wiki.factorio.com/Pollution

Every chunk has a natural absorption rate per tick which is determined by the weighted average of its floor tiles.

So you need to also modify all tiles in the world.

I highly recommend using Helmod for calculations like that.

Here you go

4 lines of plastic, 24 lines of iron, 40 lines of copper.

And a truly horrible amount of assemblers.

As of electric furnaces, it depends on the layout.

Prerequisites: No peaceful mode, Starting Area must be medium or less.

1. You may not destroy enemy spawners. To enforce this ban increase enemy spawner destruction evolution increase factor to a really high value so one destroyed spawner sets the evolution ...

TL;DR
Add a less-beautiful-but-more-plain view for circuit networks.

What ?
Not only is working with circuit networks painful for your fingers now, fiddling with wires, but also pretty darn straining for your eyes as well.
Red and green wires blend together, you can't see where anything goes ...

Multiplayer. 70 hours in, we've only discovered Kovarex enrichment process now.

And we challenged each other to come up with a control system that uses the least amount of components.

And I (sort of) won with this.

Left chest - input. Insert U-238 here. At least one ...

Please, add a play button or something.

That reminds me of this video
You should clearly understand now why this is a bad idea.

Currently, as it stands, each player must download and activate all of the mods used by the host in multiplayer. However there are some mods that are non-game changing or only do things that can be replicated without this mod by players. Those mods are, in a sense, "client-side", that is, they only ...

Guys, I think there is something wrong in this picture, but I can't quite say what.

Firstly, this topic belongs to Balancing .

Now, about the issue. You are right, this doesn't make much sense for train wagons to have lesser capacity than chests. Not only do they have less capacity somehow, but they also take up much more space.
But I am willing to make a point here: train wagons ...
