Looks fantastic! However, I'm a bit concerned that it might be confusing, especially for new players, when the offshore pump and regular pump look almost identical but one requires electricity and the other doesn't.

Yeah the Beehive name is a mix of the cell shape, train size and the way the trains zip around randomly (they repath a lot when travelling due to the way the base is designed). I actually posted another video later showing a full view of the base where you can really see why it has this name. https:...

This design is definitely not the most UPS-friendly...

As I said, I expect this to be a low-priority fix at best. However, it can impact actual bases in some cases. My WIP megabase uses lamps to show incoming trains, with a total of over 9k lamps so far in the network. Even when the factory is running, the lamps alone use up more than 1/3rd of my update...

When an entity is connected to the circuit network, it checks for the network's state every tick. This is fine for smaller combinator builds, but starts being a big UPS drain when connecting lots of entities to networks, especially with lamps displays and similar designs. In a lot of situations, tho...

Train stop names are currently limited to 106 100 characters, which is fine most of the time, except that it gets very restrictive when you start using icons instead since [item=automation-science-pack] counts as 30 characters instead of 1 symbol. https://i.imgur.com/19S6Ohw.png Given how specific 1...

When a train station name contains a rich text item icon, the game doesn't recognize [img=item.iron-plate] and [item=iron-plate] to be the same thing. It makes sense internally, but can be very confusing as the end result is the same visually. https://i.imgur.com/enXfUZd.png https://i.imgur.com/yE0S...

Left is what the hitbox currently allows, right is what it probably should allow.

Some of those changes are maybe too much, but some of the tiles are definitely overlapping way too much with the rails to look right.

https://i.imgur.com/h63d5E4.png The train visualization in this screenshot indicates that only a 1-length train will fit behind the signal on the bottom rail, but as you can see in the screenshot, a 2-length train does fit without tripping the previous signal (bottom left). The train has reached th...

No, the bug is linked directly to stations enabling/disabling. Here's a blueprint that reproduces it reliably: 0eNrNmt9uozgUxl9l5WsYYf4TaV9gpb2avVuNEAEntZaYyJjMRlXffW2gSZqcTH0suuKmbWr42T4+34djzivZtgM7Si4U2bwSXneiJ5u/X0nP96Jqzf/U+cjIhnDFDsQjojqYT7LiLXnzCBcN+5ds6NsPjzChuOJsun/8cC7FcNgyqS+43FkP8sQafwR4...

Here is a gif of the bug in action: https://giant.gfycat.com/UncomfortableMistyInsect.webm As you can see, those trains are all partially filled, set to leave the station when completely full, and yet they're leaving as soon as they touch down on the station (the gif doesn't show it, but those train...

Bumping. This would be extremely useful for any save with a heavy train network. It's not just the ability to quickly set up 5 or 10 trains with the same schedule, it's also the ability to change all their schedules in one go without having to track them down if you want to tweak or re-task them. Yo...

We can already disable rail signals through conditions on the circuit network, but we can only read from chain signals. I don't see why we aren't already able to disable chain signals as well, and there's a number of situations where you would want to disable a signal but aren't able to change it to...

Almost every day we see people having trouble with setting up their first rail system, and a good half of the time it's because a rail they wanted to use as 2-way was actually 1-way. I think it might be very practical and helpful to have the colored lines that indicate rail blocks not only show bloc...

As you may have guessed, Each[Green] would be similar to the Each symbol, but only use the signals coming from the green wire, and the same thing for Each[Red]. This would allow to treat a lot of signals at the same time for different purposes, for example scaling different signals by different amou...

While we're at it, could blueprint books have their own icons rather than use the icons of the currently selected blueprint? I find that often my blueprints will have a lot of icons detailing what's in them, making the books hard to recognize at a glance since I never know which blueprint is selecte...

Seriously, it's way off-center and it's messing with my aesthetics.

https://i.imgur.com/BlYyxZT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yjguqgK.jpg As seen in the screenshots, tracks can be placed in such a way that existing legal signals become illegal placements. While not technically a bug, this is a weird edge case that can trip up new players and doesn't really need to exist....

Fantastic, thanks!

https://giant.gfycat.com/GracefulUnconsciousElephant.webm Inserters are inserting their items off to one side, which doesn't matter when using belts but does dramatically change their inserting rate onto splitters.
