Yay! My first bug that I was the first to report has been fixed! I feel so special

Steps to repeat:
Start new freeplay game
Unlock all technologies
Give self laser turrets, gun, ammo.
Place laser turret
Shoot and destroy laser turret
Replace turret over ghost
Right-click on turret - new turret cannot be mined!

Other test methods and results:
Having roboport robots replace turret ...

I try to avoid overusing logistics bots since they seem kind of cheaty, but I rely on them heavily for 4 key things:
1) supplying my character
2) supplying my tactical/non-automated trains with an assortment of goods (and using a blueprint of a constant combinator to change what's loaded onto the ...

I just had the same idea when thinking about the FFF 224 - bots versus belts. I say we revive this.

Using chests to created some kind of bucketed belt takes care of the throughput problems by increasing the items/tile. It could also help UPS problems by grouping items together in a chest-like ...

Looks like existing requester chests aren't working properly until they're 'reset'. Logistics robots don't refill them until an action is taken that resets something about the chest status. Maybe related to the new buffer request flag.

Below are the tests I've done. Assume that a requester chest ...

All for it, but this would require a seperate night vision goggle slot, next to the armor/tool bar. Perhaps the goggles in th top slot, below a button to turn them on/off? Should be possible, right?

Oh absolutely. It would be so much easier if it had its own slot to equip/unequip or toggle on ...

It might be easier to satisfy all the different wants and make it more fun if the goggles became customizable like the armor. Different lenses, filters, electronics, and components like lamps could be researched, constructed, and swapped in and out. Heat- and night-vision could be stacked with the ...

Awesome! Love it! I did change it for myself though, so that it doesn't require a new entity and works with the normal train station. If they implement equivalent functionality in vanilla, I don't want to have to keep the mod or have to rebuild all my train stations in my saves. Cool that it works ...

I put together a mod that changes the station name depending on circuit network input.

Is your mod available for download? I also started looking at the API to figure out how to add/remove a period or underscore to the end of the name based on circuit condition. I wasn't having much luck finding ...

If you REALLY-REALLY want to deactivate a station, you could just put a "puppet train" (locomotive and no carts) at your station which leaves only when certain circuit conditions are met (chests full).

Yeah, I've considered doing this. I haven't because 1) like you said, it's not really ...

If you're willing to install a mod (SmartTrains), then there are solutions to this -- albeit slightly more complex than what you have in mind. Check the link in my signature.
I've looked at that, and it is definitely more complicated than what I was putting together! But I'm fine with having ...

Summary: I want to be able to switch whether a station can be found by trains based on network condition.

As was touched upon here (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=164194#p164194) and a few other places, I thought we were going to be able to turn off a train station using network ...

Definitely can confirm this one. I have multiple .12 saves I could upload if it would help, but looks like someone else already loaded theirs.

In every one of my saves it's the same thing: a piece of indestructible track right behind my single engine train (with no cargo wagons), wherever it was ...
